(OTCBB: HRAA), a provider of technology and revenue integrity solutions for healthcare organizations, will present at the Duke Clinical Research Institute's (DCRI) Fourth Annual Informatics Conference taking place on April 10, 2013. The conference will be focused on the current debate surrounding the impact of electronic health record (EHR) implementation on healthcare costs and efficiency, and will address the issue of Return on Investment (ROI) vs. Return on Health (ROH).
Dr. Gallagher will join industry leaders for a panel discussion about deriving benefits from EHR implementation. The panel will address issues of how EHR data is providing valuable new tools for health, the wellness of patients, providers and payors through analytics.
"In order to be able to adapt to the changing healthcare landscape with advancing technological and recording requirements, it is vital that healthcare organizations have the business intelligence tools needed to understand the impacts and returns on their businesses," said Dr. Gallagher. "Using big data to analyze the ROI vs. ROH is an important step for the healthcare industry as a whole and I'm honored to contribute to this discussion."
As CMO/CMIO of HRAA, Dr. Gallagher is responsible for product development and management. He works with HRAA's team of experts to create technology solutions to help healthcare systems maintain revenue integrity via data analytics and business intelligence solutions.
