Randy Roat President: 2008–2009 it was my honor to follow in the footsteps of a great president, Ken goodin, and to serve with another great leader, scott everson, as my vice president. the goals of our team were to improve governance through greater transparency and increased communication and to position hbma as a credible voice to industry and government; this was my passion. it is difficult to fully communicate the activities of a vibrant organization acted upon by volunteers with limited availability. to that end, we incorporated the use of written reporting, published committee goals with monthly progress dashboards, and committee spotlights into our board meetings — all of which greatly increased board member reading requirements! bill finerfrock and barry reiter led the effort to expand hbma’s relationship with cms while andy Kokosa and his team incubated a public relations platform. both of those initiatives enjoyed immediate successes and have evolved into the fabric of hbma. Scott Everson President: 2009–2010 2010 was a dynamic and rewarding time to be at hbma’s helm. building on the solid foundation left by President roat and having a long line of wonderful predecessors, i felt my job was to “stay the course” while preparing the association for some of the most sweeping changes the healthcare industry would see in decades. With the passage of the arra and hitech acts in 2009, and with 5010 and icd-10 looming on the horizon, hbma and our member companies were facing tremendous new challenges and opportunities. by implementing new tools and programs to improve workflow and communication between our volunteers and staff, and by focusing more resources on the increasing role that technology would play in our industry, i hope i was able to leave the association in good hands for those who would follow. i truly enjoyed my time as president and it was a wonderful honor and privilege to work with so many great people! 18 hbma billing • march.aPril.2013 Jackie Willett President: 2010–2011 as i concluded my year of having the honor of serving as hbma’s president, i remained amazed at the level of commitment from so many hbma members. With the expertise of the many who served on 15 committees, hbma was able to submit comments or impact on the following: • rac audits • 5010 transaction set transition and readiness • icd-10 transition and readiness • mac issues and new transitions • ehr and meaningful use • operating rules for the 835, 837, etc. • Pecos provider enrollment • fraud and abuse • reimbursement issues and the development of commercial relationships • technology advances • sgr • accountable care organizations in addition to addressing these issues, as an organization we continued to focus on providing membership value through the proactive efforts and work products of all of our committees. Don Rodden President: 2011–2012 2012 was a pivotal year for hbma. due to the tremendous forces impacting our industry, decisions needed to be made with increasing thoughtfulness, more rapidity, and increasingly less available volunteer time. to accomplish this, three initiatives emerged to address these imperatives: • create more effective communication models • empower decision making to those best qualified to execute strategies • align our vision to anticipate and meet the needs of future hbma members i hope that history reveals the value in investing in communication, empowerment, and a renewed entrepreneurial spirit for defining, embracing, and executing hbma’s vision and strategies.
