Celebrating the Future of Nursing Informatics
Who knows what the future will bring? Some say only time will tell. But MEDITECH and Northeastern University's Bouvé College (Boston, MA) are doing their part today to improve the future of nursing, with their groundbreaking partnership to bring EHR technologies and real-world hospital experiences to health science students. The university recently held a luncheon to celebrate their collaborative success, where key MEDITECH team members were presented with an appropriate token of thanks--personalized clocks!
