BoardVitals has been working to resolve our registration issues. You do not have to use a special link to register anymore. You can register with your lsuhsc.edu email. All lsuhsc.edu users will now be added to the LSUHSC-New Orleans account. LSUHSC-Shreveport (aka LSU Health Shreveport) users should register with their new lsuhs.edu email to be registered under the Shreveport account. Our libraries are working to identify existing users that have been assigned to the wrong account, and we will try to correct those users as soon as possible.

We are still experiencing some technical difficulties with our Board Vitals subscription. It seems that most of the issues are with relatively new accounts.
We have contacted support for assistance and will update the blog when the issue has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
