Vince Ciotti and Frank Poggio delivered HIStalk’s most popular webinar, “Cerner’s Takeover of Siemens, Are You Ready?” which has been viewed nearly 6,700 times. Vince and Frank are back with their brutally honest (and often humorous) opinions about CPSI’s takeover of Healthland and what it will mean.

The CPSI acquisition of Healthland will impact approximately 1,000 hospitals and LTC/PAC facilities. Major EMR /HIS takeovers seem to be coming one or two per year. Hospitals can get burned when the acquirer forces clients into a “take it or leave it” situation. This webinar will cover some of the critical issues and questions every affected health facility will need to prepare for, specifically:
1) Lessons from other takeovers in the HIS industry, such as the recent Cerner /Siemens and , Allscripts/Eclipsys combinations
2) The possible fate of each of Healthland’s products and impact on ongoing support and R&D
3) What the alternative systems in the market are based on your hospitals’ size & app suite
4) Whether you will be forced to upgrade to the newer Healthland Centriq product, or will CPSI promote Thrive, an much older, yet more stable product
5) Steps you should take now to prepare your organization for typical vendor positioning after acquisitions

This webinar is geared toward:
CIOs and other HIT professionals who are running Healthland products, and CPSI clients running legacy CPSI products and any CIO concerned about his/vendor takeover.
