These educational webcasts will supplement the ongoing news and information published weekly by RACmonitor and ICD10monitor.

The topics were selected specifically to provide updates on issues hospitals face on a daily basis, with renowned subject-matter experts leading each webcast. Attendees can ask questions and engage directly with the experts.
“This series is being prepared for subscribers to both RACmonitor and ICD10monitor,” Buck said. “It is designed to provide exclusive access to vital information about top trending topics that are impacting healthcare from a compliance and auditing lens.”
Buck, who also hosts Monitor Mondays and Talk Ten Tuesdays, two weekly live podcasts, will host this series with each respective presenter.
“These will be live, fast-paced, 30-minute webcasts,” he explained. “The sessions have been designed to provide healthcare professionals with the information they need for real-time insights.”
Each weekly webcast is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST. The first webcast, Confronting the Mental Health Crisis, is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, featuring internationally renowned psychiatrist H. Steven Moffic, MD. as presenter. On the following Wednesday, June 18, Dr. John K. Hall will present “Vaccination Nation,” addressing issues related to vaccinations.
