The AHRMM trade show takes place August 7-10 in Anaheim, California and IntelliCentrics will be onsite on the 8th and 9th at booth 600 for in-person meetings and product demos. We will cover how technological advancements can help you safely manage the revolving door — the continuous movement of providers, patients, vendors, and visitors who visit your healthcare facility.
