Day 1
The day began with a welcome address by Title21 Health Solutions CEO, Lynn Fischer, whose opening remarks emphasized the overall theme of the event: Innovation. Fischer stated, “The possibilities are only limited by your imagination and we are here to be your partner in pushing the limits, shifting paradigms, and truly making an impact to your organization through highly flexible and integrated technology.”

The conference continued with an interactive demonstration of the newly released Title21 Web Interface™.

Dawn Clark (pictured on the left), a representative from The Blood Connection® who served as a Beta for the Title21 Web Interface, shared her organization’s experience, detailing specific features that were well received by her users. Clark shared, “There are tutorials throughout the system if you need, but we found that the interface was so user-friendly that the staff actually turned those tutorials off! Navigating is very intuitive. With just a few clicks, staff can easily maneuver to where they need to be. It was also very easy for our Medical Director and designee to sign on from wherever each was located, whether it was at our office, at the hospital office, or even out of state.”
The first day continued with sessions on Title21’s powerful trending tools, new functionality for Title21 Version 7.0, Title21’s Validation Module as well as an in-depth look into Title21’s capabilities for Product Inventory and Equipment & Supplies Management.
