What's New
For those of you who attended the 2009 AHAP conference, use the link in the back of your conference workbook to find any updated presentations, slides from the accreditors panel discussion, and notes from the round tables.
For those who didn't attend the conference, click here to get a taste of some of the discussion points that came up during the round tables session.
Our most recent working group calls took place February 24 and 26. The topic was infection control, and we had some great discussions. Thanks to all of you who joined in, and a special thanks to our guest participant Jodi Eisenberg MHA, CPMSM, CPHQ, CSHA, chair of the AHAP advisory board and program manager of accreditation and clinical compliance at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
