There’s no difference between mHealth & telemedicine, come to ATA May 17-20 in Baltimore to learn more
I’ll be heading to the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) annual conference in Baltimore in a couple of weeks. To see what I might learn there I interviewed Jon Linkous, CEO of ATA.

More practical, relevant, and actionable health IT advice to be doled out at HealthIMPACT East in NYC on Wednesday
Our vision of providing a packed one day event focused on practical, relevant, and actionable health IT advice was very well received in Houston earlier this month. We wanted to focus not on canned PowerPoint decks and promotion of tech hype but specific advice on how and where to apply IT in healthcare settings.
