Great Times - MGMA Summer Conference

JTT just got back from the Summer MGMA Conference at the lovely Sandestin Beach Resort. As always, kudos to Lisa and her team for a great show. This is the 6th year for us at Sandestin, and we've come to look at this conference as a get together of good friends and a great way to catch up with our partners and clients.

Of course the hot topic this year was the HITECH Act and its effect on healthcare providers. We continued to hear differing opinions on what the government will define as "meaningful use" with regards to EMR, and it was clear that there is much anxiety from practice managers of clinics who are still waiting to purchase as well as those who were using a previously purchased system. JTT is continually working to advise clients on a constant basis, and with the help of Jackson Thornton Healthcare, we are preparing some great educational sessions which will help keep local medical providers informed and aware.
