Join the PDS User Group at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8 immediately following the Contract Committee Meeting at the HASC office in downtown Los Angeles.

Independent consultant Darren Magness will offer his insights for negotiating with payers. Magness has recently negotiated numerous HMO hospital contracts using the PDS information to establish rate proposals to each health plan. Participants will learn how PDS data can become one of their most important tools in increasing rates for their facility.

Leslie Gold will introduce the new PDS handbook, which will place all of the important information about PDS at your fingertips. Gold will also discuss 13 critical questions that PDS data can help you answer right now.
