REDWOOD MEDNET PRESENTS THE NINTH ANNUAL
Connecting California to Improve Patient Care in 2015
Practical Solutions for Healthcare Information Exchange and Interoperability
INCLUDING THE CALIFORNIA CONNECTS 2015 INTEROPERABILITY EXHIBITION

FRIDAY JULY 31, 2015
HYATT VINEYARD CREEK HOTEL AND SPA
SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA


Connecting California to Improve Patient Care is an annual conference featuring presentations on electronic health records (EHR) and on the use of national technology standards to establish interoperability for electronic patient healthcare data. Conference presenters will explain practical solutions for securely sharing electronic clinical information between computer systems at unaffiliated health care facilities, such as outpatient practices, hospitals, laboratories, imaging centers, long term care, home health, public health, payers, patient engagement portals and mobile apps. Conference attendees will learn about best practices in health informatics. Speakers will discuss the current status of health information technology in California, national software road maps for data standards, interoperability, patient safety, and emerging tools and opportunities for physician and patient engagement.
