2008 Xpeditor Enterprise User Conference
The sixth annual Xpeditor Enterprise User Conference was held in May at the Bertram Inn and Conference Center in Aurora, Ohio. Conference attendees represented more than fifty healthcare institutions throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, and Kentucky. The two-day event, themed “Real Strategies, Synergies, and Solutions,” offered valuable insights into more efficient use of Xpeditor features, a look at product development and service enhancements on the way, and demonstrations of the synergies between Xpeditor and the applications or services of our partner organizations.
Attendees found the presentations of two guest speakers to be particularly thought-provoking. The Crucial Conversations for Healthcare seminar led by Dr. Kurt Southam equipped participants to facilitate better communication and problem-solving with coworkers at all levels. Daniel S. Leeper, a special agent with the FBI, discussed his agency’s healthcare fraud investigation program. Conference attendee Melinda Morgan-Imes remarked, “I thought all sessions were very helpful and informative. I must say that I thought Dr. Southam was one of the best speakers I have ever heard.”
Perhaps most relevant to attendees, however, was the variety of in-depth and detailed breakout sessions related to Quadax EDI, including Denial Management Tools, Xpeditor COB Functions, and Xpeditor Remittance Functions. Matt Haase particularly enjoyed that session, commenting, “The Xpeditor Remittance Functions session was helpful because it included a lot of information and was well-explained.” He went on to say, “I think the breakout sessions were very informative, with detailed, relevant information.” For Dilys Krueger, the most beneficial part of her experience at the Xpeditor User Conference was “meeting other users, meeting Quadax employees and getting a picture of [the] commitment of Quadax to excel and meet our needs now and in the future.”
This year’s evening entertainment, “Here Wii Go!” gave attendees the opportunity to not only meet other users and Quadax employees, but also compete against them, testing participants’ golf, tennis, baseball, boxing, and bowling interactive video game skills. Fun was had by all contestants. Winners of each game were entered into a raffle; at the end of the action-packed evening, seven lucky conference attendees went home with their very own Nintendo Wii Game System.
Planning is already in the works for next year’s conference! We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 Xpeditor Enterprise User Conference!
