Will you be facing fines this September?

New federal regulations require healthcare insurers to provide a plain language Summary of Benefits & Coverage and Uniform Glossary for each coverage option offered.

It may sound like a simple problem but the challenge is daunting – requiring updates to thousands of customer communications and revamping supporting customer processes. Healthcare insurers are scrambling to make the changes before the requirement comes into force in only a few months time.

With fines of up to $1,000 per failure, can you afford not to be ready for it?

In this webinar, hear how EMC’s Information Intelligence Group can help you solve the challenge of providing this mandated information to members.

In this webinar you will:

  1. Learn about available on-premise and cloud deployment technical solutions to help your organization comply with this requirement
  2. Look at how EMC can help you ensure compliance, quickly and easily, using familiar tools from Microsoft and Adobe
  3. Find out about the additional benefits that an enterprise class multi-channel communications solution can provide

Live Webinar – June 5th 2012, 12:00-1:00 PM EDT

A great idea is meaningless and useless unless it can be communicated properly whether written or orally. The problem with writing down great ideas is you have to trust someone will actually read what you wrote. In today’s business environment, that is something I would you should not necessarily trust. The only true, quick way you can get your idea out is through presenting it.

What does that mean though? Is a presentation something speakers do at events? The reality is you present every time you have an oral communication with someone. A presentation can be one to one, one to two, or one to hundred. It can also be a group discussion with each person contributing to a team or on a panel. The dynamic to focus on, whether you are with one person or a group, is that you are presenting to them. This element creates a number of challenges but can also be used to your advantage.

When you write, you can hide behind your words. When you present you are your words. Your audience creates an instant image of you as you begin, and then that image ebbs and flows during your presentation. That image, when not managed correctly, can overshadow or even block the message you are trying to convey.

In this web seminar we will review very pragmatic skills, tools and techniques to properly prepare and execute a successful presentation. We will look at planning, preparation, delivery techniques and delivery challenges. This is very little on theory. The focus is on actions you can do before and during the presentation to increase the power of your message and the success of your idea
