On August 16, from 5:00-6:30 pm ET, the American Medical Association will host a webinar on the new Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program to be implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The webinar will feature Karen Trudel, Deputy Director of CMS’ Office of E-Health Standards and Services, which is charged with oversight of these programs.  To register, visit the AMA website. If unable to listen to the live broadcast, participants should register and the AMA will send a post-event e-mail with the materials and a link to the AMA’s webinar archive.

Additional information on the incentive program is available on CMS’ website, where the agency recently posted new fact sheets for physicians (referred to as "eligible professionals").
