During this informative session, Dr. Darvin Hege, Psychologist, with Sean Vojtask, Executive Vice President of Operations and Deborah Frazier, HealthCare Executive, both with BlueWave Computing, discuss the importance of Healthcare IT… all brought to you by HealthGate.

Each day amazing new technology tools are being released that can help practices increase revenue, improve proficiencies, reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. For this reason, the dependency on healthcare technology is rapidly changing. With this comes new software tools, mobile devices, telemedicine, connection into HIE’s, new HIPAA/HITECH/OMBNIBUS rules, and reformed payment models – each with a dependency on each other. The foundation to make all of this data secure, and provide reliable access, rests on the network infrastructure itself.
