Join us this coming Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 10 a.m. EST, when the long-running Talk Ten Tuesdays kicks off its 2025 broadcast season with special guest Frank Cohen, senior director of analytics for VMG Health. Cohen will share his insight on Hanlon’s Razor, a principle that can be summarized as “never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.”
This principle isn’t about blame-sharing, but rather about how to foster empathy and clarity while also helping to develop constructive problem-solving.
Also part of the broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:
• Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH.
• CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson, Director of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) for the vaunted Brundage Group, will make her debut appearance as the broadcast’s CDI correspondent.
• The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.
• News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent and regulatory expert, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
• MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject expert, will begin the 2025 Talk Ten Tuesdays broadcast season as the co-host for the long-running and popular weekly Internet broadcast. Comfort, assistant vice president of revenue integrity for Montefiore Health, assumes the broadcast job following the expected departure of Erica Remer, MD.
All this and more will be coming your way during the first edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays for 2025, Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 10 Eastern.
