AAN EHR Chart Challenge

2008 AAN Annual Meeting in Chicago
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008, 1:00 p.m.—4:00 p.m.

The new AAN EHR Chart Challenge will be a structured EHR vendor demonstration, with vendor representatives from Amazing Charts, eClinicalWorks, e-MDs, MediNotes, NextGen, and Sage participating in this event. Each vendor will illustrate the capabilities of their EHR products by working off of a neurology-specific script. Each vendor will also have a booth in the Exhibit Hall. The event is free and open to all meeting registrants. Attendees can score the vendors as they demonstrate. Door prizes available. Register now.

EHR Vendor Report

The EHR Work Group has published the 2007 Electronic Health Records Vendor Report. The report evaluates EHR products that best meet the needs of neurologists in small and solo practices and is intended to complement the report released in 2006.
