My friends over at CredenceHealth are sponsoring a webinar demonstrating their clinical data tools, and although it’s specifically targeted to Tennessee, I thought folks might have some interest. CredenceHealth and THA Solutions Group are doing some great things to improve healthcare in the U.S., and I’ve been enjoying watching them grow.

Transparency Statement: No conflicts of interest. These guys haven’t so much as offered to buy me lunch, much less pay me for this quasi-commercial announcement!

But it is with their permission that I repost it here:

Join CredenceHealth and THA Solutions Group for a statewide webinar Nov. 17 and Nov. 19

THA Solutions Group and CredenceHealth will hold a statewide informational webinar and demonstration November 17, at 10:00 a.m. and November 19, at 2:00 p.m., to showcase CredenceHealth’s real-time clinical intelligence suite, including CHlive.

CHlive allows your clinicians to return to care by supplementing manual abstraction processes and providing actionable information to assist in the timely identification of emerging complications.

Learn how you can quickly begin using CHlive to improve quality of care and reduce costs by partnering with CredenceHealth to leverage existing HIT in your hospital, regardless of size.  Last month, THA Solutions Group and CredenceHealth announced the formation of a Select Partnership designed to help provide greater access to these tools for Tennessee hospitals.

If you would like to take part in this informational webinar please RSVP by Friday November 13, for the appropriate day & time using the links below (will launch an email):

RSVP November 17, 10:00 a.m. CDT

RSVP November 19, 2:00 p.m. CDT

Three colleagues and I formed a “work band” several years ago when I was a captive employee at Healthways, and had a blast performing for employee events like our annual all-company meetings and summer family fun days, as well as corporate-sponsored events like the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, World Health Care Congress in D.C., and the annual Medical Outcomes Summit in Austin.

At one point, the membership in Strat5 grew to 17 – but as a large corporation based in Music City, USA, you can imagine that we had a fairly talented pool of employees to draw from! I actually blogged briefly about some Strat5 activities over here a while back.

A few years ago the group started participating in Fortune’s Battle of the Corporate Bands, and have made semifinals every year. Last year, after I left Healthways, the group traveled to Cleveland for the finals, which is held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum (no relationship between my retirement and them making it past semifinals – at least, that’s what they assure me :-), and we’re hoping they make another trip this year!

Strat5 is made up of colleagues from Healthways (>50% must be from the org, by BOCB rule) and for the past few years has been the only, or one of few, bands participating from Music City, USA. The semifinals are this Saturday, July 18, 2009 (sorry for the short notice!) and all of the bands participating from across the country would love to have your support. The musicians really are top notch, especially considering that they are not pros (another BOCB rule), and the proceeds generated all go to a worthy cause.

Admission is free, but you must print and bring the the attached flyer!

Right-click it, Save it, Print it, come on out, and…

Be free!
