      <title>02/14/12 at 12:00 PM - Free Webinar:  Winthrop Resources-Financing Technology</title>
      <link>http://www.hfmastlouis.org/site/epage/89580_700.htm?month=1&amp;year=2012#cal45924</link>
	  <description>Program Fee:	Free&lt;br /&gt;Description:	It is difficult to fully comprehend the constant barrage of changes coming from regulatory, reimbursement, technology and even from within the hospital itself.  Healthcare Reform, ARRA and the economic/financial crisis has taken this to new levels of complexity.  While we cannot predict change, we can determine the susceptibility of change by:&lt;br /&gt;Gaining a better understanding of both traditional forces of changes and those on the horizon; and develop acquisition and maintenance strategies that include appropriate levels of agility-flexibility&lt;br /&gt;</description>
