On Thursday, February 2, 2012 the annual TechColumbus Innovation Awards will showcase Central Ohio's many achievements by honoring its top innovators. It is a night of networking, prestige, and celebration. Winners in 13 award categories will be announced to an audience of 1,100+ attendees.
The Central Ohio Health Information Exchange (COHIE) is proud to announce we are a Semi-Finalist in the Outstanding Startup Business category. "It is an honor to be a Semi-Finalist for this award and to be recognized for our innovations. We look forward to the event to be surrounded by our peers, colleagues and mentors to learn if we will be named Outstanding Startup Business," commented COHIE Director Matthew Esker.
COHIE was established to help primary care physicians and other health care providers adopt, implement and meaningfully use electronic health records (EHR). By late 2011, COHIE reached its goal of signing up 1,352 providers in a 14-county region of Central Ohio. The widespread adoption of EHR is anticipated to lead to greater use of a statewide health information exchange (HIE). In combination, these efforts will ultimately lead to better health care and cost savings for the patients of Central Ohio.
The TechColumbus Innovation Awards celebrate the spirit of innovation by recognizing outstanding technology achievements in Central Ohio. This prestigious evening showcases the region's advancements and promising future. For more information, visit www.techcolumbusinnovationawards.org.
