David Mason
Hospital Pharmacy
The last few weeks have been unprecedented for all of us with so much in turmoil. Our hearts go out to everyone directly and indirectly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. We would also like to acknowledge our amazing healthcare workers and first responders, many of whom are participating with us in our virtual conference. What they are doing is exceptional—they are the true heroes of this crisis.
For the past 14 years, Health Connect Partners has been focused on our mission of bringing providers and suppliers together, and each of you have been a part of our journey. The lasting friendships and meaningful connections made at our events have forged us into a strong community. It was because of this special community that we felt it was in the best interest of all of our providers in the healthcare setting, suppliers, and our employees to stay safe and healthy this spring and pivot from a physical conference to a virtual setting. Despite the severe impact that this virus has caused on all of our businesses, we have tried to come up with a solution to allow our loyal providers and suppliers to be able to connect safely.
We are happy to have you with us for our 2020 Virtual Spring Hospital Pharmacy Conference—the first ever of its kind! We realize that the need for connection in our healthcare communities has never been greater, even though meeting in person is not possible right now. We look forward to bringing providers and suppliers together in our new virtual conference format to allow you to connect face-to-face (virtually), develop business relationships, be inspired by thought-provoking education, and discover new technology and products.
If you have questions at any time during this event, stop by the virtual help desk or call us at 615-449-6234. We are here for you and happy to help.
We are beyond grateful to all of you for your understanding and willingness to keep moving in a positive direction. We look forward to seeing you all in person at our fall events.
David, Nelson and Jason

John O’Leary
Live Inspired
Leadership Principles During a Time of Crisis
John O’Leary, a #1 national bestselling author and speaker, will bring inspiration to us as leaders.
In 1987, John O’Leary was a curious nine-year-old boy. Playing with fire and gasoline, John created a massive explosion in his home and was burned on 100% of his body. He was given 1% chance to live. This epic story of survival was first showcased in his parents’ book, Overwhelming Odds, in 2006. It was this book that first invited John
to embrace his miraculous recovery and share it with the world. Today, John is an inspirational speaker teaching nearly 75,000 people around the world each year
how to live inspired. Consistently described as “the best speaker we’ve ever had,” John’s emotional storytelling, unexpected humor and authenticity make each of his presentations truly inspirational. John’s “Live Inspired” podcast is a top 20 for business on iTunes & Inc. Magazine and his online community is 200,000 strong.

THE KIDNEYS CAN’T WAIT
SOONER IS BETTER FOR HRS-1
The latest ICA consensus recommendations eliminate a serum creatinine (SCr) threshold for the diagnosis of HRS-1.1
The application of these recommendations enabled:
• Earlier treatment by approximately 4 days2
• Initiation of treatment when SCr levels were, on average, approximately 1 mg/dL lower2
• Treatment before a further ≥1.5-fold increase in SCr (in 47% of patients)2
When diagnosing hepatorenal syndrome type 1 (HRS-1)
