GNYHA Ventures, Inc., and CNAPSIS, LLC—which offers a valuable product designed to automate the entire Continuing Medical Education (CME) administration process for hospitals—recently announced a strategic alliance. CNAPSIS's Web-based tool, CMEOffice, offers a cost-effective solution to help hospitals reduce paperwork, enhance data reporting, and satisfy CME regulatory and compliance requirements. Some of its unique features include online registration and payment processing of CME programs for physicians and participants, customized registration forms, and remote registration and attendance functions. The system also enables hospitals to coordinate registration, reporting, and data collection activities across different departments and organizations; streamline reporting of Grand Rounds attendance; and reduce the possibility of generating inaccurate data. GNYHA Ventures will hold two briefings for GNYHA members, in NYC and in New Jersey, to demonstrate CMEOffice. For more information or to register, please contact Sahar Zodeh at GNYHA.
