Oct-Nov Activities

I am a bad blogger these days. I bought a book about blogging and it said to update the blog three times a week. I think its been over a month since my last blog post. So, according to the blog book (and probably any social media marketer), I am a bad blogger.

Seriously though, I don’t have time to blog three times a week, so I do what I can.

This is what I did over the last 2 months:

1.) AmerisourceBergen (my employer) was an ambassador sponsor of the Lucean Leape Institute Gala. It was amazing to be part of this event and to be a council member for National Patient Safety Foundation. They are amazing organizations.

Here is a picture of me (far right), Diane Pinakiewicz, President of NPSF and Lucian Leape Institute, David Coletta, V.P., NPSF and Lucian Leape, MD,Chair, Lucian Leape Institute and Adjunct Professor of Health Policy, Harvard School of Public Health.



The event was incredible. I feel honored to have been there. I should have blogged about that. But @SusanCarr, editor of Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare Magazine was there, so I leave the journalistic coverage to the experts.

2). I helped manage a photo shoot for some our pharmacy technology. This was super fun.

3.) Lots of time in Washington, DC talking with health reform experts to help understand the different challenges and opportunities that our hospital customers will experience with some of the proposed legislation.

4.) Attended the e-Patient Connection conference (#epatcon). Since I have a twitter account and work in the healthcare space, I thought it would be valuable to understand the conversations that are taking place around communications and patient care. Plus I got to see @ePatientDave again, so that was great.

5.) Preparing for American Society for Health Systems Pharmacists (ASHP). We are sponsoring the ISMP ADC Symposia and the ISMP Cheers Awards. Plus AmerisourceBergen has a huge tradeshow booth presence.

That’s it…. just keep plugging along - trying to get AmerisourceBergen’s patient safety message out there (in person this month – not on social media) so, sorry if I’ve neglected my blogger responsibilities.

I’ll try to do better this month.

I believe in my work.
