This nationwide tour is delivering the message "The Time is NOW" for Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption through 200 virtual and physical 'stops' in 200 days. A series of seminars, webcasts, executive briefings and other education resources will be hosted to help physicians navigate new federal incentives for electronic healthcare.
