Testimonials from participants..

“Of all of Meaningful Use, facilitating quality outcomesmust be the most important on which to focus. Amedisys recognizes CGC as a critical pathway to improving quality care for the patients we serve.”

“The challenge that innovative IT solutions face in thehealth care marketplace is fragmentation. Even with arock solid value proposition, many vendors face anuncertain future unless they can find a means to obtain acritical mass of functionality and adoption. The CGC helpsaddress this challenge by enabling individual members toparticipate as a component in a much larger solution. Let's give the industry the innovation it needs.”
