Last week we held our second HealthyData Virtual Academy. The last two shows have had such a positive response, and knowing healthcare has been under extreme pressure over the year due to COVID-19, we wanted to be able to offer the show for those who couldn’t make the event on February 10th.
The Winter 2021 HealthyData Virtual Academy theme was “Unlock the Value of Your Data” and hosted a variety of topics ranging from how to effectively get information into an EHR to how healthcare data has captured a serial killer.
