Reston, VA (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Harmony Information Systems, Inc. (Harmony), the leader in integrated health and human services management, announced today a record number of human services professionals gathered in Cincinnati, Ohio for the 2013 Harmony Users Conference, the industry’s leading long-term services and supports conference, from October 23 through October 25, 2013. The three-day, sold out event focused on empowering Harmony’s health and human services customers to successfully “Navigate the Tides of Change” and deliver the highest level of service in the face of expanding consumer demand and dwindling budget and resources.
“Every year I look forward to the users conference as it provides a unique and valuable opportunity for Harmony customers to gather in one place and share ideas, challenges, and successes,” said Joseph Sander, President and CEO of Harmony. “I was thrilled to spend time with so many forward-thinking professionals discussing how collaboration-based technology solutions are critical in delivering long-term services and supports to a rapidly growing population of consumers.”
This year’s conference featured two keynote speakers: Dr. Eric Coleman, Director of the Care Transitions Program, who provided an overview of the Community Care Transitions program and insight into ways Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) can fully engage the family caregiver, improve relations with hospitals, and overcome implementation challenges; and Tina Abbate Marzolf, Chief Executive Officer of the Area Agency on Aging 1-B in Michigan and Harmony customer, who spoke about ways her organization is embracing change, innovation, and technology to fulfill their mission to enhance the lives of older adults and adults with disabilities within their community.
Many conference breakout sessions featured Harmony customers highlighting successful initiatives and innovative ways they have used technology to improve service quality and meet requirements for new programs including Community Care Transitions, Money Follows the Person, and more.
