I attended the recent AAHSA conference and we were told in several sessions that the outlines would be available on the AAHSA website. Where do I find the session outlines?

Does anyone have the formula yet on how these five stars are determined? I know I certainly was not happy with the two stars they gave us.
Also, do you have a good name and address for appeal? Califonia certainly is not responding to my requests.

We have created technologies to improve “Patient Compliance to Physician Prescriptions”: Medication, Home Health testing, Preventive Health Standards etc.
These have been designed with aging and forgetful patient population in mind.
We are looking to partner with organizations and individuals with interest in using such tools and services.

I appreciate the “Candy and Commitment, Chicago-style” story on your blog, but the name of the resident you are referring to is Emma Jordan (not Emma Jones). And, actually, I found out when I spoke with representatives from Tootsie Roll Industries that they know her as “Marie”!
By any name, she is a wonderful woman, and it was an honor to meet her. In addition, Tootsie Roll is a wonderful company that genuinely cares about its employees. I am thrilled that they have agreed to help us make the AAHSA convention a little sweeter!

Hello AAHSA,
We’re reaching out to bloggers interested in the 2009 AAHSA Meeting because we’re helping to build awareness about our client’s solution to improper medication management.
You may already know that incorrect usage of prescription drugs is a costly, dangerous and unfortunately common problem. The incorrect taking of medication is directly responsible for 40% of all hospital admissions in the elderly. To improve quality of life, our client developed the TabSafe Medication Management System. It’s a simple device that provides peace of mind for families and offers independence to seniors.
TabSafe will also be part of the conversation on eldercare and caregiving solutions through the TabSafe Facebook page and @TabSafe. If you’d like info on the device, feel free to contact us at info@tabsafe.com or 678-990-8450.
Best wishes,
Nick
