Donald G. Schoen named Chair of the EHRVA November 16, 2006, marking the vendor association’s first transition of leadership.

“Assuming the chairmanship of the EHRVA is a tremendous honor,” said Schoen. “ Our organization is unique in that it provides all vendors equality in the decision-making process surrounding EHR software. My election as chairman reinforces the association’s ideal of giving equal voice to small and large ambulatory and enterprise vendors. In the coming year, we will lead the EHRVA to meet and exceed the goals established at our national association meeting.”
