Meet Our Trainers…
The EHR Best Practice Series™ is created and developed by Maxwell IT Company, a healthcare IT services firm for physician offices.
All of the trainers in the EHR Best Practice Series program are experienced clinicians, administrators, and healthcare technology experts. As a combined team, they’ve not only practiced medicine utilizing EHR technology, but they’ve also built, sold, selected, implemented, supported, and ran healthcare software companies and have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges involved in the EHR selection and implementation process.
Some of the trainers continue to practice medicine or administer practices on a regular part-time basis.
