She engaged the audience offering valuable advice and recommendations to questions raised. Eevidence-based research and data were shared to aid in the understanding of the issue, the impact as well as what the healthcare community can do to improve. Feedback from attendees was very positive and we are pleased that we were able to offer this valuable learning opportunity,” stated Keri McDermott, Great Plains QIN Communications Director.
