Members of the OrangeSlices AI team attended Wednesday’s HHS & CMS Online Happy Hour event.
If you don’t go to this recurring and increasingly popular event hosted by Shelley McGuire, you are missing out. It is always a fun and well-run event filled with valuable updates and connections added every time. (Track her events here)
In the interests of sharing what we heard, for those who were unable to attend, included here are a few insights related to several upcoming and active requirements from across the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
