ACDIS Quarterly Conference Calls
What are ACDIS quarterly conference calls?
One hour, live telephone conference calls offered to ACDIS members. Calls frequently feature focused discussion on emerging topics, as well as open networking discussions, and question/answer periods with the ACDIS Advisory Board.
ACDIS members receive dial-in instructions via e-mail. Members are encouraged to dial in at any time with their comments, thoughts, and questions, and may do so by pressing *1 on their telephone keypad.
We want your ideas and tough questions!
If you have any suggestions for discussion on our next call, please email ACDIS Director Brian Murphy at bmurphy@cdiassociation.com. Conference calls are a great way to ask a question, air any and all concerns, or gather input on a policy or procedure at your hospital. Although we cannot guarantee getting to all the questions/discussion points, we try to work as many in during the call as possible.
