MAC Roundtable Luncheon 2011
MAC Roundtable Luncheon 2011 – Tuesday, October 11th 12:15 pm – 1:30 pm
Attend the MAC Roundtable Luncheon for informal discussions on a variety of topics. Facilitators and recorders will be at each table to initiate discussion and to document the discussion for posting on the MAC website. Facilitators and recorders earn one point toward membership in the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) for serving in these roles. If you would like to share your skills and expertise as a facilitator or a recorder, please email Lois Culler at Lois.Culler@Inova.org.
The topics for discussion are listed below with a brief annotation explaining the intended material to be discussed.
