RSVP for October 6th Reception:"Celebrating Leadership" at the CMS National E-Prescribing Conference in Boston

Please join us as we host the Welcoming Reception for the CMS National E-Prescribing Conference, 6:00 to 7:30 pm October 6th

The eHealth Initiative, in collaboration with CVS Caremark, AARP, the American Medical Association, BlueCross BlueShield Association, BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, the National Community Pharmacists Association, and Surescripts-RxHub, LLC, is excited to host the opening night reception at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' National E-Prescribing Conference.  The reception will celebrate the leadership of the many stakeholders in the field who have advanced the use of e-prescribing to support improvements in the quality, safety and effectiveness of health care, including clinicians, consumer groups, employers, health plans, pharmacies and pharmacists, health care information technology vendors, hospitals, and state and local leaders.

Kerry Weems, CMS's Acting Administrator, will provide remarks during the evening; the reception will also include highlights from “A Clinician’s Guide to Electronic Prescribing”—a soon to be released guide on e-prescribing developed by the eHealth Initiative with the strategic guidance of a multi-stakeholder steering group, and in collaboration with the Center for Improving Medication Management, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians, and the Medical Group Management Association. 

The reception is open to all interested eHI members, not just those attending the CMS Conference.
