President's Message
Greetings AHRMNY members. A number of us were in Phoenix last month for the Annual ASHRM conference. The weather was warm and sunny and the presentations were interesting, timely and informative. Our New York contingent had fun and there was a well attended reception for our New York attendees at the Sheraton in Phoenix.
In New York we started off the academic year with our inaugural webinar on Section 111 Reporting by Michael R. Merlino II, Esq. of Sedgwick CMS. This webinar went smooth and was well attended. We plan on doing many more webinars in the future. It is a great way to reach members and attendees who cannot appear at our live events in person.
Our Education Committee has been working diligently over the last few months to plan conferences for this year. We ask that you save the date for December 8, 2011 for a half day conference at Lenox Hill Hospital regarding Innovations in the Handling of Medical Malpractice Cases in New York State Civil Courts with featured speaker Judge Douglas E. McKeon, a Civil Court Judge in Supreme Court, Bronx County and also Daniel J. Vukelich, President of the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors who will speak on the history and recent developments in the reprocessing of single use devices. We anticipate a very large turnout for this event.
In addition, The Publications Committee has been diligently working on articles and preparing this Risk Management Quarterly. We are sure you will find it as informative and engaging as ever.
Our Membership Committee reports that 283 members have joined or renewed their membership for the 2010-2011 year. If you haven’t renewed yet please do so as soon as possible.
There is also still time to join any committee that you are interested in. The Committee commitment is usually a once a month conference call with some follow up planning and implementation of assignments. Please consider joining. Your participation is needed and appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing you in December.
Jon
