And that is why the producers of ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesdays have invited Jessica Miller-Dobbs to join the popular Internet broadcast as its special guest for some shop talk.

Time is money. And nowhere is that adage more relevant than in today’s American hospitals. For example, consider the patient who is medically ready for discharge, but still waiting for a skilled nursing facility (SNF) bed to open up.
