It’s already been an interesting visit to Charlotte: Board meetings and strategy sessions, and now the conference has actually started. I just attended a great meeting on the AAMI Benchmarking Solution. The tool has been in place for three years. We are gathering great data, and the general consensus was that now we have a chance to do some really exciting things with that data. There were some innovative ideas exchanged on methods that would allow us to turn the data into useful information, and on how that information could be used. But we can’t stop there! I’m sure there are many more ideas out there in the healthcare technology management community. Share your ideas with Patrick Bernat of AAMI at pbernat@AAMI.org.
