“In preparation for landing please return your seat backs to the upright position and turn off all approved electronic devices”.  Oh my goodness, we are finally landing in Seattle for National Arc Convention after a VERY long travel day!  I wonder if I can see Mt Rainier from the plane.  Nope, it’s too cloudy.   Maybe tomorrow. 

No great stories ever started over a salad. This one is no different. For those of you who were able to attend The Arc 2013 National Convention in Seattle, congratulations on your successful navigation of O'Hare, SFO, Philly, SeaTac and in our case Milwaukee to arrive in Bellevue. To say that Mother Nature made arrival difficult this year is, in my mind, an understatement. Once we all arrived, it was as it always is, a wonderful family reunion. 

If you are a provider agency looking for a software solution, chances are you are going to want something that allows your people to document case notes and bill claims.  This is basic functionality that is a part of any agency management platform.  Not all software solutions do these tasks the same way or at the same level.  While all of the cool bells and whistles that come with software packages are fun to see, remember you need to choose a system that will give you the greatest return on investment while keeping you at the highest level of compliance in case of an audit.  Case notes and billing are a core piece of the investment decision.
