Washington County Hospital converted to version 1B allergies in the fall of 2007 and converted to version 2 allergies on 9/28/08. Support for version 1A ceased after 1/1/09, but there are still hospitals who have not moved to 1B. Attend this webcast to learn in detail both conversions since those users who are live with 5.61 will have to convert to 1B, and those live with 5.62 will have to convert to V2.
