What is IWUG?

The Idaho WITS User Group (“IWUG”) is made up of staff in provider agencies and state agencies that have been trained in the use of WITS as an electronic health record. The IWUG holds a conference every other Thursday at 11:00 a.m. to assist users in provider agencies as well as staff at the Idaho Supreme Court, Idaho Department of Correction and Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections in identifying issues and asking questions. Each IWUG conference covers a WITS update on state agencies, provider progress, critical bugs and announcements, and a short training on a specific module in WITS. All agencies will be included in the IWUG following participation in core training.
