Join me at the fifth annual Medical Device Connectivity Conference Nov 21-22 in DC (discount ends Monday)

Many people believe that medical device d ata, like lab data, should be directly integrated into modern electronic health record solutions but that’s not happening as fast as many of us would like.

A key point made in the articl e was:

The nice folks at Iron Mountain, a publicly traded storage and information management services company, reached out to me during the summer and asked what I think the challenges are around healthcare data management.
