September 30, 2009 - RENO, Nev. – Myra Ameigh will be a featured speaker at the 33rd NAMSS annual conference, addressing changes in collection and maintenance of electronic data that improve provider data management and medical credentialing.
Her presentation on Oct. 5 will detail the technology and resources available for electronic data management and how they improve operating efficiencies for organizations in the health care industry.
“Electronic data management is important to credentialing departments for several reasons, said Myra Ameigh, who is president of Vistar Technologies. “Regulation requires accuracy and verification of the process, and effective electronic data management makes it easier to conduct enterprise audits and certifications.”
Paperless technology eliminates replication of records, which improves data standardization and accuracy, Myra Ameigh said. Electronic data management ensures timely updates of key data elements and quality indicators which directly impacts quality of care and allows health care organizations to share data and leverage their investment in technology.
“Electronic data management is also important to the healthcare industry because of new legislative mandates and health care reform,” said Myra Ameigh, who is also CEO of Vistar Technologies.
In her speech, Myra Ameigh will also address how electronic data management produces:
• Better organization of enterprise provider data and central document repositories
• Greater efficiencies in provider relations management
• Improvements in performance management
• An integrated approach to data sharing and access
• An updated approach to critical processes through service-oriented architecture
Myra Ameigh will speak during the first breakout session of the NAMSS conference. Attendees will receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credit. For more information on the conference, visit http://www.namss.org/membership/annualconference.cfm.
