Trends Identification Report

A key attribute of a successful executive is being proactive in identifying and preparing your organization for the "new, new thing." Through six months of research, hours of conference calls and spirited debate, the AAMSE Trends Identification Task force has given you another resource in helping prepare your society with the 2009 AAMSE Trends Identification Report.

The task force identified the following issues for this year's report:

1. Medical Society Management, Finance and Communications
2. Electronic Medical Records and Health Information Technology
3. Access to Care and Health System Reform
4. Changing Healthcare Workforce
5. Medical Society Membership as a Value Proposition
6. Public Health Infrastructure and its Relationship to Healthcare Delivery
7. Quality of Care and Patient Safety
8. Payment Systems and Insurance Reimbursement Reform

As an additional member benefit, a printed version of the report will be sent to all members in late June.  To purchase additional copies of the report ($10 per copy), please email Benjamin Butz atbbutz@aamse.org.
