SAMHSA Business Operations Webinar - HIT: Benefits & Economies of Scale in Working with an HCCN

Thursday, April 28, 2011 at 2:00 pm EST/1:00 pm CST

Register for this webinar

There are a number of functions that are required when implementing health information technology, including:

• Training
• Systems back up
• Template design
• Server maintenance and upgrades

Providers have a choice of taking on these responsibilities themselves or working with an organization that can leverage existing relationships and competencies to provide these services. Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs) provide Economies of Scale that individual organizations cannot.

This session will provide examples of how providers working with an HCCN can benefit from these economies.
