From the CRC Blog: A new year, new challenges

Credentialing & Verification Update, January 6, 2009

Every New Year’s Eve, I think about setting goals for the New Year, both professional and personal. Of course, it always seems like I don’t even get through the first month and I’m back to my old ways. What will make 2009’s resolutions different from other years? Perhaps it will be the changes that we all know are coming in 2009 and our country’s new motto, “yes, we can!”

On January 20, President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn in as our 44th president. According to U.S. News and World Report, he will draw on inspiration from past presidents (Abe Lincoln, F. D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy). Whether we voted for him or not, he is our new president and is offering a chance for change. Indeed, MSPs and others in healthcare will most likely be watching for changes affecting our industry.

This New Year we can help each other with at least one resolution: Keep informed about changes and challenges in healthcare. This year I am making a resolution to bring useful information about new developments and new solutions that will help MSPs increase their knowledge base.

I wish you a very happy New Year! Bring on the challenges and change…we’re ready!
