David, the presentation given by James Hoffman at the Conference gave excellent insight on what's coming up the pike.
PLUS
The handout for his presentation is on the PPO Reprints and Archived Handouts section of the website. You have to join, but it's free (like most of the features on the website). I just reviewed it, and it should have exactly what you need!
Another free service brought to you courtesy of Summerdale Enterprises, Inc., Pharmacy Purchasing Outlook, and Pharmacy Purchasing Outlook Online, where "Purchasing is Our Only Issue"
Thanks Mike,
I think that is exactly what I want, and I do remember that presentation from the conference. But when I go to click on that link, it says it's "blocked/no longer available" ??? Any other ideas? Or is this problem maybe just with my hospital's network?
Name of Facility: Heartland Regional Medical Center, St Joseph, Missouri
Sounds like your Hospital's firewall, man. IT Departments are paranoidedly paranoid of any variations from their established corporate norm. When I worked at one hospital, I couldn't access the PPO webpage at all! I had to go to IT, which fortunately my wife was good friends with, and beg them to allow me access.
If you still have your book from the Conference, the handout is in there. If you don't have the book, I'll see if I can dig up the original PowerPoint presentation.
