The topics were selected specifically to provide updates on issues hospitals face on a daily basis, with renowned subject-matter experts leading each webcast. Attendees can ask questions and engage directly with the experts.
“This series is being prepared for subscribers to both RACmonitor and ICD10monitor,” Buck said. “It is designed to provide exclusive access to vital information about top trending topics that are impacting healthcare from a compliance and auditing lens.”
Buck, who also hosts Monitor Mondays and Talk Ten Tuesdays, two weekly live podcasts, will host this series with each respective presenter.
