Xpeditor Enterprise User Conference

By , Newsletter Editor

The EDI department held its 3rd Annual Xpeditor User Conference at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Independence, Ohio, May 4th and 5th. The theme for this year's conference was 'Catch the Vision'. The fifty-plus clients were given insights into some of the exciting new features of Xpeditor including the Xecutive Dashboard, as well as some tips and tricks on how to get the most out of our claims processing engine.

Following opening comments from EDI Department CEO Tom Kish, attendees were addressed by two keynote presentations from Mr. Charles Cataline of the Ohio Hospital Association and by Mr. Mike Robbins from the West Virginia Hospital Association. Overviews on the organization of the service departments were also presented on the first day.

This year's entertainment was a trip on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The reception dinner was held in the quaint and historic town of Peninsula, Ohio, before boarding the train for the return trip to the hotel.

Day two consisted of four breakout sessions, each featuring multiple presentations from which conferees could choose to attend. Some of the topics covered were New Features in Xpeditor; Remittance Processing; Using XpressBiller Claim Correction System; Xpeditor Tips and Tricks; and in-depth look at the Xecutive Dashboard, and more.

User Presentation given by Karen Fordham from Oakwood Labs in Michigan, Kristen Shoup from Wooster Community Hospital in Ohio, and Rita Grant from St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Kentucky highlighted the important ways that they've used Xpeditor to improve efficiency and the bottom line in their business offices.

A popular event again this year was the User Forum: questions submitted by attendees were addressed by a panel of experts including the CEO of EDI Services, the architect and director of development of Xpeditor, the Vice President of EDI Services, EDI's Operations Manager, and a Customer Support Manager who's also a hospital billing expert.

If you were unable to attend this year's conference we're sorry you missed out on the fun. Quadax will hold another conference next spring. We hope to see you there!
