 Top Story:  My First TEPR-ware Party!

Speaking at TEPR (Towards an Electronic Patient Record) will undoubtedly go on record as one of my career highlights for 2005.  Between the various vendors, the other speakers, and the old friends I bumped into, this year's TEPR was one of the most enjoyable conferences I have attended.  If you ask anyone from TEPR they'll tell you this was the best event they have put on thus far in their 21-year history.  According to Peter Waegemann (CEO, Medical Records Institute), TEPR brought "3500 attendees from 22 countries as well as a record-breaking number of faculty and exhibitors."

Dollars & Sense Financial Corner

Working Capital Loans -- Two weeks ago I attended the NAELB Convention (National Association of Equipment Lease Brokers) in St. Louis to learn about what’s new in the leasing industry.  I’ve been in the leasing industry for over twenty years, but it has been several years since I have been an “independent” leasing company. The many faces I recalled as friends made it an enjoyable event. More.
