Leading at the Speed of Trust
Stephen M.R. Covey, New York Times and Wall Street Journal
bestselling author of The Speed of Trust
Trust is hard, real, and quantifiable. It measurably affects both
speed and cost. A function of character and competence, trust
can be created (and destroyed) and effectively taught and learned.
In most cases, lost trust can even be restored. This fast-paced and
engaging presentation dramatically reveals trust as the hidden variable that will
become your most leverageable tool, giving you a distinct strategic advantage.
We call it “leading at the speed of trust.”

Research and Quality

Future of Health Records: To Code or Not to Code?
Dr. T.B. Ustun, Team Coordinator of Classification, Terminologies
and Standards, Department of Health Statistics and Informatics,
World Health Organization
Development of health information systems is the most critical
issue in healthcare today. Currently health records have emerged
without standards, and this lack is the major impediment to
making any meaningful use or exchange of information. Knowing the detailed
uses of the health records, their structure, and content, health information
managers should work together with others to optimize standards and
interoperable systems.
When Everything Changed—The Amazing Journey of
American Women from 1960 to the Present
Gail Collins, first woman appointed editor of the New York Times
editorial page, New York Times syndicated opinion columnist,
and blogger
It wasn’t so very long ago that skirts, girdles, and stockings were
required wear for any working woman. Credit was something you
only got with the help of a male co-signer, and any woman who wasn’t at least
engaged by junior year in college was looked upon as a piteous old maid in the
making. Collins tells the amazing, funny, and inspiring story of how, within the
historical blink of an eye, everything changed.
