What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
I had trouble with the audio on this video.
Excellent!!!
Not as good as last year's conference in terms of substantive materials/topics presented
Provide a microphone to those in the audience asking questions as it is very difficult to decipher the question being asked during Q&A period.
Though I responded to all verification pop-ups, the system says my response rate was just 22%! Now it's saying I will be credited for only 3 of the 4 hours I'm claiming. This is not right. If participants are going to be scored on response rate, then the system needs to work properly.
Very good overview of pending health law matters. I especially liked the case review.
Great conference, especially discussion about DNR, advanced directives, NPDB, peer review, Med Staff Bylaws. Thank you! Technical note: I learned through trial and error that if paused the conference for more than a few minutes, there was a good chance that I'd be logged out of your site but somehow could still watch the rest of the video I'd been watching... only to find out that I didn't receive credit for finishing that course. Also, if I started a new course, only 5 or so minutes of the class would load. I just learned to log out and log back in again to be sure what appeared on my computer screen was synced with the latest info on your site about my progress through the course. I hope that makes sense. If not, please feel free to contact me. All things considered, it was a minor inconvenience, but I thought you'd want to know. Thx.

Top Health Industry Issues of 2019: New Health Economy Comes of Age (Apr 2019)
The US healthcare industry has often lagged other industries (like tech, retail, hospitality) when it comes to modernizing. Once thought to operate outside the greater US economy, the healthcare industry—and its byzantine payment system, complicated regulatory barriers and reliance on face-to-face interactions—is being disrupted. Finally, there’s robust evidence that new economic realities are kicking into gear.
