For the SDONE Breakout Session we plan to hold a best practices panel with a preference for
topics related to patient engagement and meaningful use. With the direct relationship
between these topics and reimbursement, this is a topic impacting virtually every practice
setting. Panelists will be reimbursed for mileage, one nights lodging, and receive a modest
honorarium. Please contact Connie for more information or if you are interested in
presenting!

Please respond to the survey sent via email related to interest in riding a chartered bus from
eastern South Dakota to Rapid City. The bus will leave early Wednesday morning and return
immediately following the closing session on Friday. I believe the cost is $60-65.

If you haven't reserved a hotel room, please do so promptly! I was able to get a room at the
Adobe for a very reasonable rate.
