Guidon Performance Solutions and the Center for Health Transformation Host Webinar on the Impact of Healthcare Reform

MESA, AZ — May 5, 2010 — Guidon Performance Solutions, a leading provider of Lean and Six Sigma business process management and performance improvement consulting to the service sector, today announced that it will be joining with the Center for Health Transformation (CHT) to host a webinar on the impact of healthcare reform. Part I of the “Reform After Reform” series is scheduled for May 19, 2010 at 1p.m. EDT.

The webinar will provide payers with tips and advice on how to prepare for the complexities and changes associated with the new healthcare legislation. Topics will include:

o Regulation and compliance issues…What are they? What is their impact?

o Dealing with potential caps on premiums

o Staying ahead of the curve…What to do now

“In the post-reform world of healthcare, payers will be among the most heavily impacted by the recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” says Ron Wince, CEO of Guidon Performance Solutions. “Part I of the ‘Reform After Reform’ series is designed to help payers navigate the new regulations and effectively manage the impact to their business.”

“During this enormous time of change, the ‘Reform After the Reform’ series is an important first step in navigating through the challenges and complexities in implementing the recently passed healthcare law,” says CHT Vice President and Director of National Health Policy David Merritt. “The Center for Health Transformation is delighted to partner with Guidon on this very important initiative, and we look forward to future installments.”
