Last week I was lucky enough to attend the annual National Association Medical Staff Services (NAMSS) conference in Milwaukee, WI. As always, it was a pleasure to meet Briefings on Credentialing readers in person and hear what you’d like to read about in the newsletter. I attended several informative sessions ranging from CVO best practices to managing AHPs. Outside of the conference I enjoyed myself as well. On Monday night I attended a reception at the Pabst Mansion hosted by the CACTUS Software group, and I brought home some great souvenirs including cheese in the shape of a motorcycle (Milwaukee’s home to the Harley-Davidson Museum) and photographs of the “Bronzie Fonzie” statue from the television show Happy Days.

What was your fondest memory from the conference? Did you meet up with friends from past conferences or make new connections? Which session really opened your eyes and presented you with the solution you were looking for? Did you miss the conference but want to hear about the new hot topics? I invite you to share your memories with others by posting your comments below.

Best wishes,
