After Electronic Conversion
November 25, 2009 9:51 AM by Cheryl McEvoy

If You Just Had a Little More Time
August 26, 2008 5:09 PM by Lynn Jusinski
It all adds up--even 5 measly minutes a day. With all of the short-term obligations, it's easy for long-term goals and career aspirations to get lost in the melee. HIM departments are abuzz with activity--many are transitioning to EHRs or some form of Read More...

Outtakes
July 1, 2008 11:39 AM by Lynn Jusinski
After every single story I write, I end up a mess. My hairstyle flops. My desk is piled up with papers. I can't find my right shoe. I accidentally don my interview transcribing headphones in the lunchroom (and let me tell you, the headphones are large). Read More...
