We are sending a more detailed agenda (see below) in hopes that you will decide to join us for this event. The summit will briefly address the basics for ToC and VDT however will quickly move into more advanced topics including interactive sessions and panels, and plenty of time for Q&A throughout.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support vendors in their work to enable Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 2 exchange requirements, we invite you to join us in-person in Washington D.C. for a discussion about making MU Stage 2 exchange work in the real world. During this session we will discuss critical aspects of implementation beyond what is required for certification testing. ONC and CMS meaningful use experts and staff will be available for information sharing and interactive discussions.

This session has been developed specifically for EHR vendors and implementers for the entire meaningful use community including beacons and states. We encourage you to send your product manager or chief architect; however, any representative working on MU and Certification is welcome and will benefit from the discussion, regardless of where your organization is within the certification process or meaningful use implementation process.
