Finding the perfect Summit workshop

With all the change going on in the world of healthcare it's no surprise that this year's Summit will focus on preparing for healthcare reform. Once again we've put together an impressive list of speakers and workshops for you to attend. But with all the different workshops sometimes it's hard to know which one will be most beneficial to you and your agency. To help you choose, we've created a couple new tools on the Summit and NIATx websites.

First, the NIATx Health Reform Readiness Index is an easy-to-use online assessment of 13 conditions that an organization needs to thrive in the new healthcare environment. Complete the HRRI anytime before the NIATx Summit and SAAS National Conference. An online report will tell you what conditions you need to work on.

Next, go to the list of conference workshops on the Summit website. By selecting the HRRI conditions that apply to your agency you'll see a list of workshops most relevant to you. We'll also list workshops by HRRI condition in the conference program to help you plan your day.

We hope you'll find these tools useful and look forward to seeing you in Boston.
