Videos From Expo: Back From the Brink

Just 15 years ago, the largest health system in the Southeast was on the verge of bankruptcy. But a heavy investment in EHRs, HIEs and integration turned Grady Health System around. In 2016, Grady was named “Most Wired” for five consecutive years by the American Hospital Association's (AHA) Health Forum.
