Dear AuntMinnie Member,
The annual AHRA conference is under way in Texas this week, and associate editor Kate Madden Yee is on hand filing reports for our Imaging Leaders Digital Community.
First is a presentation from Sunday's sessions on how to deal with one of radiology practices' thorniest recurring problems: angry patients. Try as you might to keep patients happy, someone in your facility is going to get rubbed the wrong way. Learn how to handle the inevitable by clicking here.
Another AHRA presentation takes a look at how the U.S. healthcare reform legislation passed last year could affect radiology. From accountable care organizations (ACOs) to bundled payment organizations, radiology administrators are having to learn a whole new lingo. Get the rest of the details by clicking here.
For more coverage of the AHRA meeting in the days to come, be sure to check in with our Imaging Leaders Digital Community at leaders.auntminnie.com.
Deadline looms for Minnies nominations
Meanwhile, you only have a few more days to submit your nominations for the Minnies, AuntMinnie.com's annual event recognizing excellence in radiology.
The Minnies are your chance to let us know who or what you believe deserves recognition for contributions to our specialty. It could be an educator at your university, a scanner or software application you use, or a scientific paper that's particularly noteworthy. And this year we've added a new category to recognize philanthropic contributions from individuals, companies, and educational institutions.
The Minnies will be closed to new submissions at midnight on August 21, so don't delay! To get started, go to minnies.auntminnie.com.
