Baltimore area health care providers and those who want to become successful health care providers, get your calendars out. Most of the high profile, must attend events have been set for the first quarter. and I've got them. Competing in this business we call health will get a lot harder in 2012 and the successful provider will want to be prepared. In early January, I wrote about the challenges providers should be preparing for in 2012 ( http://bit.ly/xIkXF6). Of course you read it because you're a savvy provider. The response to that article was great however I received a lot of requests for more information. While I can't always respond to all emails in a timely manner, I can tell you where to get all the information you'll need this year to grow your practice and stay informed. The following list is the creme' de la creme; mark them on your calendar. Do it now!
