Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Looking for all the latest news from this week's Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) meeting in Dallas? Look no further than AuntMinnie.com's RADCast@HIMSS, now available at himss.auntminnie.com.
The HIMSS conference has become one of healthcare's most important information technology forums, and we have a team of AuntMinnie editors on hand to bring you news from both the educational sessions and the exhibit floor.
Check out our lead story on the need for legal assistance when planning outsourcing agreements for information technology services. Healthcare providers can run into a host of problems if they don't get their legal ducks in a row before farming out their IT contracts, according to a HIMSS presenter.
We're also highlighting an article on the cost savings that can be derived from a successful PACS implementation, as film and personnel costs decline. Another story discusses how the rise of regional health information organizations is helping fuel the development of community-based electronic health records.
You'll find these stories, and more HIMSS news to come, when you check out the RADCast@HIMSS at himss.auntminnie.com.
