Health Information Management: New and Emerging Roles in Quality and Safety - Webinar Archives
Initiatives from government and industry are driving a revolution in healthcare quality and safety. Healthcare providers are being held to an unprecedented degree of accountability to demonstrate their ability to deliver safe, high-quality, and cost-effective care.
