PDR Network Opens Third-Annual PharmEHR® Summit Today
The adoption of EHR systems by healthcare professionals has passed 60 percent and has significantly impacted the practice of medicine--forever changing physician workflow and patient interaction. For many healthcare professionals, these systems have become their “New Desktop,” serving as the center for care management, treatment decision-making and patient communication.
“The use of EHRs by healthcare professionals today has caused a paradigm shift in the practice of medicine that goes beyond the interaction between physicians and their patients, impacting all aspects of the healthcare industry,” said Richard Altus, President of PDR Network. “By hosting this event, we are able to facilitate discussions among decision-makers on all sides to understand the opportunity these systems provide to reach healthcare professionals and develop strategies to do so that add value, supporting the healthcare professional’s goal of providing optimal patient care.”
Highlights of the topics to be covered during this year’s PharmEHR Summit include:
• Communicating with Prescribers within Workflow
• Delivering Solutions & Services in the Exam Room
• Transforming the Physician and Patient Interaction
• Changing How Healthcare is Delivered–Implications for the Provider, the Patient and Everyone Else
• Crossing the Chasm: Successful Navigation Through Medical-Legal-Regulatory Review for Digital Innovations

About the PharmEHR Summit
PDR Network recognized early that the rapid adoption of EHR systems by U.S. physicians would have a significant impact on the practice of medicine and, in turn, the way manufacturers reach physicians. By hosting the PharmEHR Summit each year, PDR provides an environment of discussion among senior executives on both sides of this paradigm shift, allowing them to learn from each other and explore strategies to achieve core business objectives.
