SAHA Networking
One of SAHA's most important functions is to facilitate networking opportunities for its members. This networking serves two primary purposes: to facilitate sharing of best practices and information between member hospitals, and to share cost savings and contract opportunities. These meetings are supplemented with secure listservs that allow members to ask questions of each other and share solutions for current issues.
SAHA's networking teams are organized by discipline. The SAHA CEOs, who make up SAHA's Board of Directors, are essentially a networking team and meet quarterly. The Finance Committee is made up of CFOs from member hospitals and plays a key role in identifying savings and contracting opportunities. There are various other teams that span different disciplines in hospitals, including but not limited Chief Nursing Officers, Revenue Cycle and Business Office, Human Resources, Rehab, Pharmacy, Lab, Quality, Compliance, HIM and Case Management.
