so I've been having major blogger's block recently. Mostly, it's due to the fact that I've been trying to study for my FACHE exam (coming up on 12/28). Everyone told me to read "The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization" as the go-to source, but I've been finding it difficult to digest. Have you ever read something two or three times, arrived at the end of the chapter, and realized you didn't learn one single thing? I feel that way a lot with this book. And it's not because I already know it - somehow I just don't know what to retain.

It really hit me the other day that I work in a hospital. I heard a sentence that had just as many acronyms as actual words...

"Should we use CBT, ICD-9, CDM, or DRG?"

Loaded question - anyone know the answer?
