Looking to unravel healthcare’s complex issues? Looking to streamline your operations and improve decision-making?

Join us this coming Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 10 a.m. EST, when the long-running Talk Ten Tuesdays kicks off its 2025 broadcast season with special guest Frank Cohen, senior director of analytics for VMG Health. Cohen will share his insight on Hanlon’s Razor, a principle that can be summarized as “never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.”

This principle isn’t about blame-sharing, but rather about how to foster empathy and clarity while also helping to develop constructive problem-solving.

Also part of the broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:

• Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH.

• CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson, Director of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) for the vaunted Brundage Group, will make her debut appearance as the broadcast’s CDI correspondent.

• The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.

• News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent and regulatory expert, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.

• MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject expert, will begin the 2025 Talk Ten Tuesdays broadcast season as the co-host for the long-running and popular weekly Internet broadcast.
