Southeast Users Group GE Centricity Group Management Spring Conference
Thank you to the Southeast Users Group committee for hosting the third GE Centricity Group Management Users Group Conference, as well as to the sponsors and attendees for their participation. The event was an excellent networking opportunity that allowed all those in attendance to share ideas, learn strategies, and make contact with other expert users and healthcare leaders. The committee worked hard to select the most interesting topics facing users of GE Centricity Group Management. GE Account Managers, members of the GE Technical Team and members of the GE Leadership Team were also on hand to respond to questions and issues. However, the success of this event would not have been possible without the contribution of the user community. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you again at the next Users Group meeting!

| Is your Practice Healthy?: A Practice Assessment Primer |
| Presenter: Paul Casey (MD Solutions Inc.) |
| As health care providers you urge your patients to have regular examinations but when was the last time your practice had a check-up? The symptoms of practice neglect are slow collections, a high proportion of aged receivables, excessive amounts of denied claims, too many uncollectables, high expense ratios and dissatisfied patients. If these symptoms go untreated, the health (profitability and efficiency) of your business will be adversely affected. |
