2010 Census...

is approaching and EPCMS along with our local hospitals and other health care providers are partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau to help achieve a complete and accurate count of our population. Every person living in the United States must be counted in the 2010 Census – including people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, citizens and noncitizens. Our goal is to help our community understand the importance of the census, and encourage people to complete and return their Census forms.  For more information go to:

The El Paso County Medical Society is working with the Colorado Medical Society and other component societies to help you navigate the unprecedented call for health information technology adoption that has accompanied the federal stimulus bill.   The bill provides $19 billion for physicians to use certified Electronic Health Records in a meaningful way. While you may be getting pressure from vendors or be worried about meeting deadlines to receive the largest possible incentive, now is not the time to rush into buying an EHR.   On the CMS website you will find information and tools to help you make the best decision for your practice.
