New Technology onsite:
Over the coming weeks you will see more computers, dictation microphones and a ‘tap in tap out’ technology called Imprivata, all with the goal of facilitating better access and use of computers on site. Below is a quick handout about how the Imprivata tap in/tap out system works.

Department Level IHealth Preparations:
Through FEMS funding, The CDMS can help support department work to help our teams prepare for IHealth.
Examples of successful events from other sites are scheduling a meeting with an experienced user from another site and members of your team, creating/sharing templates (called auto text) to speed up documentation, etc.
Please let us know if you have interest so we can support you in this and connect you with the right team members.
