Healthcare IT Podcast - Episode 108

On this week’s show, we talk about the CMS “Never Events” and talk with San Luis Valley Regional Medical Center Director of Quality and Patient Safety, Coryee Hamons about how these never events are going to affect hospitals and the challenges we face.  I have not forgotten about the multi-part series to talk about the various integrated hospital information systems that are out there, but so far, I have only had McKesson’s Paragon group and Meditech respond.  If I don’t get more vendors interested in participating, I plan on going forward with interviews with McKesson’s Mike Youmans as well as some executives from Meditech. 

I need you to get the information out to your vendors and have them contact me at spencer@itpodcast.org so we can set up a time to talk with them.
