Capstone staff enjoyed the opportunities to meet many of our clients in person at San Diego during the NPA annual conference.  The conference had a lot of positive energy and is always a good time for networking.  This was our first year as an independent sponsor, contributing to the overall success of the conference in multiple ways.  Our Capstone Button contest was a big hit and dozens of attendees found their match and made new friends.  We had a lot of good buzz around that, so we are looking forward to expanding the button contest next year.

We want to acknowledge Neta Kessler for designing and implementing our new booth and marketing materials that showcased our new logo well at the conference.  We thanked NPA for the better design of the vendor exhibitor hall this year, with tables and chairs for attendees to enjoy refreshments.

Besides the conference, we are thankful for both new and existing clients that we have the privilege of serving this year, enumerated below.  We learn from all of them and as we see needs, we adapt and develop services to help meet those needs.  We can only do that because of the immense talent that resides in our staff and their selfless attitude of service.  If you've met any of them, you know exactly what I mean, and I am grateful for each of them and what they bring.

We also give thanks for the challenges that lie ahead.  With ICD-10 and Encounter Data Reporting and compliance issues looming in 2015, there's plenty of work to be done.  We'll talk more of that in next month's issue.

Thankfully yours,
