The EHR issue is a good topic.
Also, if you have a chance to introduce the nursing and therapy "rebalance" issue, that would be good. Not too much, because we haven't had a chance to discuss with the lower level

BTW, when I reviewed our story with her, Nadine felt it would absolutely resonate with the docs. She is trying to set us up with the HealthEast executive medical director to discuss.

If you have high level/big issues that you would like him to be aware of, please send them to me by 8:30 am Monday and I will do my best to include them in the conversation.

So, I will mention this - Commissioner/Dr. Ehlinger will recall the challenges physicians faced when responding to the EMR mandate!
