Open vs Closed EHR Systems with Jonathan Bush – Google Plus Hangout

UPDATE 2: Here’s the post I created based on the interview with Jonathan Bush.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Google+ had a technical issue and we were unable to broadcast or record a video for this hangout. Turns out others have had this issue before even though we didn’t experience it in the tech check we did and the past 15 other times we’ve done it. I did do an interview with Jonathan Bush about the subject just the same and will create a post based on the interview shortly. We apologize for the issue.

What: A Google+ Video Hangout with Jonathan Bush discussing open versus closed EHR systems.
Date: Thursday, June 6, 2013
Time: 3:30 – 4:00 p.m. EST
Location: About 5 minutes before the event, we’ll embed the video stream on this page or you can find the video stream on the Healthcare Scene Google+ page as well.

Next Week’s Hangout is with Marc Probst from Intermountain and Mike Raymer and Dr. Jonathan Handler from M*Modal on Thursday June 13th at 4 PM EST. Subscribe Here to be notified of future hangouts.
