Back to the XP vs. Windows 7 Debate

Proposed Rules for Stage 3 Meaningful Use

Last we spoke about how a PACS can be integrated with your HL-7 compliant EHR under the existing Meaningful Use 2.0 level. (Click here to review that blog.)

But just when you through it was safe to go into the water again, here comes MU 3.0. Although MU 3.0 will not be implemented fully until 2018, it is good to be aware of […]
