We’re a proud partner in National Health IT Week!

This October, Equicare Health — in support of the advancement of health information technology (IT) to help improve healthcare — is a proud partner in National Health IT Week. National Health IT Week offers healthcare stakeholders an opportunity to unite under one banner, expressing the benefits that health IT brings to US healthcare. “One Voice, One Vision.”

Comprehensive health care reform is not possible without system-wide adoption of health IT, which improves the quality of healthcare delivery, increases patient safety, decreases medical errors, and strengthens the interaction between patients and healthcare providers.

With Meaningful Use now providing the way forward, eligible providers across the country increasingly understand the benefits for themselves and their patients, and are adopting Meaningful Use-compliant electronic health records (EHRs).

Initiated in 2006 by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), National Health IT Week has emerged as a landmark occasion for using health IT as part of the overall solution to improve America’s healthcare as a bipartisan, federally-led, market-driven initiative.

The Week consists of events in Washington DC and across the country and includes National Health IT Week participants — vendors, provider organizations, payers, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, government agencies, industry/professional associations, research foundations, and consumer protection groups — all working together to elevate national attention to the advantages of advancing health IT.
