I wanted to let you know about all of the awesome feedback I’m receiving from staff that attended the NCQA training. People are really enthused and trying to find ways to make improvements. People are still talking about it. GREAT JOB!!! I also wanted to share that one participant said she was so stirred by you personally. She felt a great energy and excitement that really has her psyched. In her words, “She is SO inspirational”.

As the Credentialing manager, PolicyPLUS eliminates time spent on spreadsheets and automatically notifies the employees, as well as myself, of the upcoming expiration and/or renewal. PolicyPLUS is an extremely helpful tracking program that makes my life so much easier.
