Small and critical access hospitals face the same regulations, but have fewer resources to meet them. Join HCPro and The Greeley Medical Staff Institute for Small and Critical Access Hospital Solutions Series, a four-part Webcast series, available on CD or on-demand, designed exclusively for small and critical access hospitals. These expert-developed, affordable programs were created with the specific needs of these organizations in mind. We surveyed MSPs at these hospitals to determine the greatest challenges, and then our Greeley experts created tailored solutions that can be easily implemented on smaller budgets with the help of fewer medical staff members. For more information or to register, visit HCPro's Healthcare Marketplace or call the customer service department at 800/650-6787 and mention Source Code EZINEAD.

Whether you’re in charge of tracking CME hours or finding remedial education opportunities after an OPPE assessment, MSPs often find themselves introducing medical staff members to new learning tools.

Keeping Up with Emergency Medicine is the latest educational Web site MSPs can introduce to medical staff members. It was profiled on the Delta Locum Tenens blog earlier this month. What’s great about this Web site is that it summarizes journal articles for busy emergency medicine practitioners in a variety of formats: podcasts, written summaries, and visual content, such as pictures and videos.

Check out the Keeping Up Web site today while it’s still free for everyone to access; staring in 2010 subscription rates will apply.
