Wow! What a meeting! We came together in Phoenix and shared information about AHDI’s advocacy experience, new technologies, the Health Story Project, social networking and how to make it work for you, abbreviation expanders, tips and tricks for small business owners…..and lots of laughs, hugs, and fun!

As our world turns more digital and technology oriented, it was great to see so many people show up for a face-to-face meeting. In fact, it was a confirmation that we need to find ways to continue to make these meetings happen. The other surprise for me was on the evaluations. We had one medical speaker. I expected to hear about that. Instead, we got rave reviews on providing information to our members about what is coming down the pipeline and how to be ready for it. What a difference from a few years ago when attendees insisted on mostly medical credits. We are definitely growing in our awareness of how the outside entities affect our lives and our jobs.

On Saturday we were at Gateway Community College and it was awesome! We used the computer lab to demonstrate a number of products, services, and technologies including the Benchmark KB. An investment in this product actually increases your production and quality while supporting our association…does it get any better? In the main auditorium we had speakers sharing about career pathways and EHRs.

I have to say this is one of the most exciting and upbeat meetings I’ve attended in a long time. Thank you all for coming and sharing time with us. I hope to see you all again in Austin for the AHDI No Limits Conference!
