The Allscripts Client Experience (ACE) Conference took place in Las Vegas, NV August 5-7, 2010. The conference had a 20 percent increase in attendees from 2009, which lead to a record 3,500 participants. The conference was the largest gathering of its kind since the federal government's July 13th release of the final rule on "meaningful use" of Electronic Health Records.

There were over 300 educational sessions led by healthcare leaders and industry presenters, ACE provided the opportunity to share best practices on the deployment and utilization of health information technology as well as previews of the latest versions of Allscripts solutions.

As the end user, it is imperative that all Health Services staff members understand the products used in our facility, therefore, allowing Health Services to be efficient and provide quality care to patients.
