Vendor Launches On-Line OpenEMR Education Program

Yesterday, we pointed to a CDC study which revealed that while many providers intend to try to attest to Meaningful Use, many are still not prepared due to inadequate technology.

There is, however, another way: web-based services that offer providers a broad range of online practice management options.  One such service is ZH Healthcare, which has just announced a new educational program to share knowledge and experience with the OpenEMR community. OpenEMR is an ONC-ATB Ambulatory EHR 2011-2012 certified electronic health records and medical practice management application. It features fully integrated electronic health records, practice management, scheduling, eRX, and electronic billing.

According to ZH Healthcare chairman Shameem C.
