Are you a physician who’s intrigued by the possibility of using mobile devices in patient visits? Interested in using a mobile EHR in your practice, but not sure where to start? Wondering how to get the workflow right? This presentation is for you. We partnered with EHR company Kareo to create this presentation, 5 Ways to Optimize Your Mobile EHR. Dr. Tom Giannulli, Chief Medical Information Officer of Kareo, will guide you through ways of optimizing mobile devices for your practice workflows. Dr. Giannulli is a key innovator in the medical tech space, and was previously the founder and CEO of Caretools, which created the first iPhone-based EHR.
