    Justify the Value of Attending

    Customizable letter for your employer

    ASHRM’s Barton Certificate Program in Healthcare Risk Management is a cornerstone of ASHRM's professional development opportunities for healthcare risk managers, whether they are new and need an intensive, cost-effective overview of the profession or are experienced and want to keep up with industry changes.

    Here’s how one recent attendee summed up the experience:

    "All faculty were excellent. The format of the presentations/material was wonderful and easy to follow. I learned information that will assist me in making an impact on the quality of patient care at my facility as well as managing risks and educating staff and administration."

    Valuable contacts
    Barton Certificate Program attendees make professional contacts that they can consult long after the program ends. They can network with other healthcare risk management professionals from similar facilities. Attendees return to the office with real-time solutions they can implement quickly without wasting hours in independent research.

    Valuable expertise
    ASHRM’s educational programs are presented by leading professionals in healthcare risk management including established experts from legal, financial and clinical risk management backgrounds. How much would it cost to bring these experts to serve as consultants at your facility? With ASHRM’s Barton Certificate Program, they’re a standard part of the educational package.

    Valuable support
    To help you get support from your manager to attend Barton Certificate Program Modules, ASHRM has prepared a customizable letter that you can adjust as appropriate. The letter will spell out what you expect to bring back from the program. Download the Word document and save it onto your computer. Make necessary changes in the areas marked in red and present it personally, if possible, so that you can answer any immediate questions.

    Added benefit
    Register for any of the Barton Certificate Program Modules and get the Risk Management Handbook for Healthcare Organizations, 5th Edition, for $299, a savings of at least $51. Details are included with registration confirmation.
