Should I accept a technology donation? With the growing trend of hospitals, health systems and health plans donating health information technology (HIT) to physician practices, it's important for physicians and practice managers to understand the complexities of HIT donation agreements and Stark law and Anti-Kickback Statute requirements. To help, the AMA will host "Financing electronic health record (EHR/EMR) systems: Should your practice accept a donation?" a live, Web conference from 1 to 2 p.m. CST (2 to 3 p.m. EST) on May 14.

Learn more about whether or not acceptance of these donations is the right move for your practice, and how to comply with subsidized EHR regulations, recognize regular components of donation agreements, and prepare more effectively for any HIT selection. Featuring presenters Heidi Echols from McDermott Will & Emery and Jay Want, MD, and Jeff Archambeau from Physician Health Partners, the program is open for all physicians and their staff and offers continuing medical education credit. Registration is $95 for AMA members and $150 for nonmembers
