As the medical landscape continues to morph, your roles as CEOs require you to keep abreast of the changes. Consider yourselves thought leaders and change agents at the forefront of health care���s new landscape, bringing your knowledge and expertise to bear on the issues. Managing Editor: Steve Barrett President and Chief Executive Officer: Charles DallAcqua Chief Marketing Officer: Jason Skinner Chief Technology Officer: Chris Rushing Vice President, B2B Brand Development: Carrie Dierks Vice President of Sales: Robert Philips In Memoriam: Robert J. Brennan, Founder JNorris@mdNews.com (620)249-7462 In this special issue, we bring you information regarding electronic health record (EHR) systems and the impact they are having on facilities. As EHRs continue to experience growing pains created by vendor incompatibility, system inefficiencies and end-user issues, you need to discover ways to ease the transition and make the technology effect a positive change for your organizations. I challenge you to read this issue in its entirety. Things you may or may not have known about are happening. I believe you will not only learn something about the local health care climate, but will also come to know some of the finest and most thought-provoking leaders in our area who, each in his or her own way, press on to improve the lives of those within our community. Also, in this era of mobile apps ��� amid a crowded market of technology that is marginally useful ��� we have uncovered some gems that may truly benefit your facility and staff. A number of apps geared specifically to physicians can improve communication or processes between doctor and patient. We���ve spotlighted some useful apps that can enhance patient care at the bedside and keep subscribers in tune with the latest medical knowledge. Through these features and other content in MD News Greater Kansas, I���d like to spark a dialogue among leaders in the health care industry. Feel free to further the conversation by contacting me at (620) 249-7462, by email at jnorris@mdnews.com or by visiting the Greater Kansas market at www.mdnews.com/magazine.
