This session will also provide participants with an overview of the benefits of utilizing a coordinated and linked practice website, answering service, nurse triage service, smart phone app and EMR.  Specific examples of how these services can improve the efficiency of your non-face-to-face patient care, decrease physician and nurse workload, and help to meet medical home certification will be provided.
