Flex WebEx Learning Series
The Office of Rural Health is offering one hour training sessions at 12 PM (Pacific) on the first and third Tuesday of every month via the Internet. The sessions will discuss a different issue for Critical Access Hospitals and other rural providers each month ranging from quality initiatives, cost reports, capital finance, patient safety, balanced scorecard and other interesting topics.
In order to participate, simply send an e-mail to Kassie Clarke at clarkek@ohsu.edu that you are interested. You will then be sent a link in an e-mail. This link will take you to the live presentation from whatever computer you choose to use. If you have not used WebEx before, it is a good idea to log in before the presentation to make sure your computer has the appropriate tools. If not, you will be prompted to follow the easy setup.
We hope that you will all mark your calendars and join us on these informational sessions. Please share this information with anyone you think would be interested. Please email any suggestions of topics you care to see presented to Kassie at clarkek@ohsu.edu.
