Hello, %%FullName_%%! Here is news from InSight.
From the President
Planning the InSight Annual Conference is a year-round process. We are constantly reviewing what was done at previous events and how to build off the successes, and improve certain areas based on attendee feedback. And the attendee feedback is really the key component. Each evaluation that you fill out at the conference is taken into consideration, and all comments are greatly appreciated. The reality is that our educational sessions are shaped on what end-users tell us will benefit their careers and their organizations.

STAR Tune-Up Update

At the 2005 InSight Annual Conference, we introduced the STAR Tune-Up, which generated a great deal of enthusiasm. As strategic partners, McKesson and InSight are joining together to offer STAR customers a complementary patient accounting, patient processing and medical records system "tune-up." If you have not yet heard of the STAR Tune-Up, a brief description follows.

The STAR Tune-Up involves the following assessment and educational components that will be offered to every STAR HIS customer:

  • A brief STAR Utilization Survey
  • Remote system audits by the STAR services team, followed by a STAR Utilization Audit Report
  • A series of Web seminars will be available to all facilities that complete the Utilization Survey. Web seminar topics will include:
    • Best practice recommendations
    • System set-up quick wins
    • Top features and functions users may not be aware of
    • Steps for "do it yourself" assessments

Benefits of participating in the STAR Tune-Up include:

  • In-depth understanding of the utilization of your core applications
  • A detailed assessment of your system set up and utilization
  • Advice and best practices for facilitating optimal use of your STAR system

Click here to enroll your facility in the STAR Tune-Up. Please note that the tune-up is available only to facilities who use STAR HIS.

In the meantime, if you know of a colleague or former InSight member who is having difficulty renewing their membership, please have them contact info@insight-net.org to obtain an invoice.


 

New Member Mentor Program

Since our volunteer leadership is highly aware of the benefits and services offered by InSight, the Membership Committee has initiated a New Member Mentor program that would link new members with volunteers to provide input and advice. We hope that this program will contribute to the retention and contributions of new members.

If you are actively volunteering and would like to be a mentor, or if you are a new member and would like a mentor to contact you, please email info@insight-net.org.
