Physicians Practice Named the Official Publication of MRI’s EMR Road Show™

Boston, Massachusetts — January 23, 2006 — Physicians Practice®, America’s Leading Practice Management Journal, has been named the official national publication of the 2006 EMR Road Show™. The EMR Road Show™ kicks off a 70+ city tour on February 22, 2006 in Tampa, FL. As part of the partnership, Physicians Practice and Medical Records Institute will work together to bring expert and user-based education to aid practicing physicians in selecting and using EMR Systems. As an added benefit, attendees at all Road Show sites will be able to pick up a copy of Physicians Practice’s much sought-after Buyers Guide 2006.

“Medical Records Institute’s EMR Road Show™ educates physicians about the realities of working with an EMR so they can confidently select the best system for their practice. The importance of these systems is growing swiftly due to government mandates as well as patient demands, and more organizations need to support their implementation. We are pleased that Physicians Practice has decided to partner with us in our nationwide efforts,” says C. Peter Waegemann, CEO of Medical Records Institute.

“This partnership demonstrates Physicians Practice’s commitment to delivering innovative, quality education to physicians,” says Ken Karpay, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Physicians Practice. “Helping physicians make informed decisions about which EMR to select, and learning how to make the most use of the systems they purchase is our top priority.”

The EMR Road Show™, now in its second year, is one part educational sessions, complete with AMA PRA Physician credit, and one part EMR vendor exhibit hall. Each one-day event includes educational sessions from industry experts and local users on the process of researching, selecting, implementing and growing with an EMR system and related technologies, along with a separate exhibit hall where attendees can assess EMR systems, side by side, through hands on demonstrations.
