The American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management (AAHAM) will hold its Annual National Institute (ANI) October 14-16 in Scottsdale, AZ. This year's meeting theme is "The Future of Healthcare in a Changing Economy, Everything New Under the Sun."

Known for its certification and educational programs, AAHAM is a national professional association spanning 37 chapters and more than 2,600 healthcare patient financial services professionals.

Five healthcare tracks will include Management/Revenue Cycle, Access/Quality Management, Compliance, Leadership/Professional Development and Specialty. More than 50 speakers are engaged to discuss topics in these categories.
Laurie Shoaf, CPAM, AAHAM President commented that the subject of the 2009 conference seemed "especially timely" considering the nation's political and economic focus on healthcare.

"The AAHAM ANI helps attendees become a more valuable resource to their facilities. ANI attendees return to their offices timely information, real solutions and new ideas they can put to use immediately," said, Sharon Galler, CMP, AAHAM Executive Director. Galler also cites the value of peer communication and networking.

Keynote speakers include Futurist Bob Treadway and Professional Speaker Connie Merritt, RN, BSN, PHN.

Currently more than 75 exhibitors have registered but exhibit space is still available. For more information, visit www.aaham.org
