Congratulations! Fred Bojrab on your CHFP Certification! The Professional Development Committee is proud to announce that Fred Bojrab has successfully completed his CHFP Certification!

Like others before him, Fred found the process to be challenging but certainly manageable and thought the study guide was a real benefit to his efforts. Read below to learn more about Fred and please join all of us on the PD Committee in a huge salute to Fred for his accomplishment. Fred currently works for Truven Health Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters Healthcare) since 2009. He is a Client Services Manager for Action OI which is the largest hospital benchmarking database in the country (currently about 700 hospitals participate).

Message from Indiana Pressler Memorial Chapter President, Sherry Ribble

Dear Indiana Pressler Memorial Chapter Members:

On behalf of the officers and board of Indiana Pressler Memorial Chapter of HFMA we would like to wish you a Happy New Year! In 2013 we continue to be committed to demonstrating the value of your membership and how it can benefit you in the ever- changing environment of healthcare.

The new year brings new challenges associated with the continued implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. With fewer resources, providers face increasing pressure to streamline processes and to comply with ever-changing government regulation and compliance requirements. It is important to stay current on innovative ways to increase value, optimize processes and deliver better outcomes.

HFMA is pleased to be able to offer 70 FREE educational webinars to HFMA members. In addition, the Indiana HFMA chapter receives education credit for each member who views the recordings. A direct link to the webinars will be located on our website at www.hfma-indiana.org.
