The Association of Medical Service Providers (AMSP) held its annual Winter meeting February 18-20, at the Condado Plaza Hotel and Casino, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The event brought together professionals from more than a dozen medical equipment service companies that are members of the organization, which negotiates cost-effective parts purchase agreements with top OEMs and vendors.

AMSP invited DOTmed President Phil Jacobus and DOTmed Business News Editor-in-Chief Sean Ruck to the meeting to learn more about their mission and goals. AMSP membership proved to be excellent hosts, but even more impressive, the conversations and insight shared will contribute to "some of the most important information DOTmed will present to our readers this year," Ruck said.

Topics ranged from potential legislation that can affect how hospitals will do business in the future and who they'll be able to do business with, to patient safety and financial stability. All this and more will be covered by DOTmed online and in print in the coming months.
