What’s the true cost of your healthcare IT system?

Funding a proprietary healthcare IT system with all the hidden costs can break your organization.  Good news: you have options. 

Take control of your healthcare IT system and your total cost of ownership -- the true cost of your system. Join Roger A. Maduro, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of OpenHealth News for an Executive Roundtable about the REAL total cost of implementing a proprietary healthcare IT system in contrast with a cost effective open source approach.

Learn from health IT leadership at a HIMSS Analytics Stage 6 hospital and a county hospital about why they chose an open source system and saved millions versus proprietary "lock-in" EHRs. Hospitals like Midland Memorial and Cooper Green have affordably improved patient care thanks to the cost-effectiveness of OpenVista, an open source healthcare IT platform derived from VistA – the most widely used hospital-based EHR in the world.

Attendees will take away:

• The true total cost of ownership for a proprietary healthcare IT system, including huge hidden costs, vs. the affordable, transparent open source pricing model
• How to fund and realize a return on investment solely with ARRA stimulus dollars
• Lessons learned to achieve Meaningful Use in 9 – 12 months with nearly 100% clinical adoption

Participants:

• David Whiles, CIO Midland Memorial Hospital.
• Srikanth Karra – Director of Information Services, Cooper Green Mercy Hospital.
• Edmund Billings, M.D. – Chief Medical Officer, Medsphere Systems Corporation.
• Roger A. Maduro - Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Open Health News, Roundtable moderator.

Who should attend: CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, COOs, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Nursing Officers, Chief Compliance Officers, and other hospital leadership.
