Speakers
In February, 2013, Integra welcomed Jason Young, presenting Culturetopia "The Ultimate High Performance Workplace," and returning Continuing Education Presenter and Industry Session leader, Dr. Brad Kile.
Culturetopia - The Ultimate High Performance Workplace
Based on his experience as an insider at famed Southwest Airlines and consultant to dozens of other Fortune 500 companies, Jason Young offers a dramatically different approach to creating and sustaining a high performance workplace. His solution for companies is to create an organizational culture where employees can do their best work and one that will produce the desired performance outcomes in productivity, profitability, employee retention and customer satisfaction. The key is intentionally identifying and developing the essential factors that impact performance for any organization: leadership principles, management practices, team alignment and employee behavior. These are the elements that truly define organizational culture and that have the greatest impact on results.
About Jason Young
Author, speaker and consultant. Jason Young has been called a “rare breed” when it comes to developing leaders, teams and customer service initiatives. No wonder. As a former senior-level manager at Southwest Airlines, Jason learned the value of a successful workplace culture. During his 10-years with the airline consistently rated No. 1 in customer service and employee satisfaction, he was a key driver in creating and developing the company’s innovative training programs for its successful leadership and customer service
culture that have become renowned in the business world today.
Driven by the need to extend his unique insight in leadership development to others outside Southwest, Jason separated from the pack in 1998, when he left the airline to launch his own consulting practice to focus on corporate training and development services provider specializing in leadership, customer service and team building. Today, as president of LeadSmart, Inc., Jason shares his vision in developing successful corporate cultures and workplace environments with forward-thinking companies, including Starbucks, Coca Cola, Radio Shack and Tyson Foods, to name just a few. He has even captured his philosophy of creating high performance cultures in his recent book, Culturetopia - the ultimate high performance workplace. To view Jason's complete biography please click here.
C.E. & Strategic Advisory: We have invited Dr. Brad Kile to return and instruct our Continuing Education Course for pharmacists and lead additional Strategic Advisory Courses for owners, managers, and pharmacy operators. Brad served as Keynote in 2012 (click here to watch) and, by request of customers, we have brought him back in 2013.

C.E. Credit
Policy Experts Examine How Affordable Care Act Impacts You and Your Business.
Three (3) live C.E. credits for pharmacists!
Integra has confirmed Bradley Kile, PhD and Leigh Davitian, JD of the Dumbarton Group as speakers for the 2014 User Training Seminar. They will present three one-hour programs that examine various aspects of current legislation and regulations with an impact on Integra customers. Attendees can earn up to three hours of pharmacist continuing education credits for the presentations.
Class 1: Implementation schedule of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and key benchmarks of the law.
This program will examine the 10-year implementation schedule of the ACA and evaluate which policies are priorities for the government. Participants will learn which policies are being implemented on time and which policies may be delayed or not implemented at all.
Class 2: Review new payment models emerging as a result of the ACA.
The program will evaluate new financial incentives for providers with Accountable Care Organizations, bundled payments, and value-based purchasing. Participants will learn about how to take advantage of new opportunities to diversify and expand their services.
Class 3: Expansion of health coverage through increases in Medicaid eligibility and the launch of HEI
Expansion of health coverage through of increases in Medicaid eligibility and the launch of Health Insurance Exchanges (HEI) – both of which are set to begin in January 2014. The ACA guarantees that by 2014, all citizens will have access to an HEI, irrespective of the state in which they live. The ACA also opens Medicaid eligibility to individuals under 65 years of age with income below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Kile and Davitian will explain the impact of expanded coverage on the demand for health care services. The timing of this program is perfect since these major policies will have been implemented just a few weeks prior to the 2014 User Training Seminar in New Orleans.
A
bout Brad Kile, PhD: Dr. Kile is president of the Dumbarton Group, LLC, where he provides services to non-profit and corporate entities to assist them in navigating health care legislative and regulatory policy changes. He is active at both the federal and state levels as an advocate in the areas of long-term care and government-funded prescription medication benefits. He has extensive knowledge of state-level policies and the implications of federal policies on the development and delivery of state-based health care.
Prior to joining Dumbarton Group, Dr. Kile worked in policy and advocacy for the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) from 1996 through 2001. At ASCP, Brad developed and implemented advocacy efforts on behalf of consultant pharmacists and long-term care pharmacies. His current work with Dumbarton Group includes a portfolio of clients with an interest in long-term care pharmacy. Brad is also an instructor and researcher at the Florida State University where he teaches several graduate-level courses on policy, politics, and research methods.
About Leigh Davitian: Leigh is Chief Executive Officer of the Dumbarton Group and manages it's Washington office. Over the last 20+ years, Leigh has developed a specialized expertise for many legislative and regulatory matters related to Medicare, Medicaid, and other third-party payment programs. With a broad knowledge-base in these areas, Leigh has a deep working-knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid compliance, reimbursement, coverage, and billing. She routinely counsels clients on issues relating to health care fraud and abuse, errors and waste, as well as the federal False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, and Physician Self-Referral (Stark) laws.
Prior to founding DGA, Leigh served simultaneously as both the Senior Legislative Counsel and Director of Government Affairs for the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (an international professional society representing pharmacists specializing in geriatric medication therapy). Additionally, Leigh has experience working within the U.S. Department of Justice that gives her a unique insight into important governmental enforcement thought processes.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS & ENTERTAINMENT:
-
Jackson Square
The French Quarter’s heart and soul is a must-see, boasting a statue of Andrew Jackson at its center and a ragtag collection of artists and fortune-tellers fringing its perimeter. It’s flanked by the filligreed Pontalba apartments, site of the Streetcar-Named-Desire-inspired “Stella!” shouting contest held during the annual Tennessee Williams Festival. At the Square’s crown are three 18th-century architectural glories: the Cabildo, a former city hall where the Louisiana Purchase was signed, St. Louis Cathedral, and the Presbytère. The onetime courthouse is now the flagship of the Louisiana State Museum, showcasing Living With Hurricanes: Katrina and Beyond, a fascinating exhibit on the infamous storm.
-
Ogden Museum of Southern Art
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art and its collections of paintings, photography, and ceramics from below the Mason-Dixon Line is located in the city’s Warehouse District. The art neighborhood is a brisk stroll or short cab ride from the Quarter. Go late on a Thursday for the chance to enjoy Ogden After Hours, when local musicians play while patrons dance, drink, and mingle in the galleries. It’s the best regularly scheduled cocktail party in town. Afterward, consider nearby Cochon or a Mano for dinner. The two highly regarded restaurants are walking distance from the museum.
-
City Park
Stretching from Bayou St. John to Lake Pontchartrain, the 1,300-acre New Orleans City Park is one of Orleans Parish’s two green jewels. (The other is Audubon Park in Uptown.) The entire city united to restore the park after Hurricane Katrina shredded its landscaping, downing many of its 600-year-old live oaks. The cleanup is transcendent, with new walking and biking paths, a great lawn for concerts, and a revival of beloved attractions, such as Story Land and Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, that have entertained children since 1906.
-
Po-Boys
Many a visitor’s love affair with New Orleans begins after a bite of these crusty hero sandwiches made from fresh French bread slathered with mayonnaise and crammed with fried Gulf oysters or shrimp. Locals have their favorite shop, and hours are spent debating the relative merits of the po-boys at the Parkway Bakery & Tavern versus those at Domilise’s or of the Vietnamese version—called a bánh mì—at Pho Tau Bay on the Westbank. Can’t decide? Show up in November for New Orleans’s annual Oak Street Po-Boy Festival. Started in 2007, the festival now draws 30 sandwich-makers and more than 40,000 celebrants in the city’s Carrollton neighborhood.
-
Drinks
New Orleans gave the world libations such as the Sazerac, the Obituary Cocktail, and the Ramos gin fizz. It’s only good manners to return the generosity by patronizing any of the city’s myriad drinking establishments. But don’t drink alone. Go where the locals go, to places like Cure, an upscale cocktail bar set on reviving the mixologist’s art; French 75, part of Arnaud’s Restaurant in the Quarter, where famed concoctionist Chris Hannah stirs and shakes; or the Carousel to sip your “sazzie” (see Sazerac) at the Hotel Monteleone’s famed revolving bar.
-
Live Music
As Bourbon Street has filled with frat-boy-style antics, the city’s music scene has shifted to Frenchmen Street in the Faubourg Marigny, a historic neighborhood within walking distance of the Quarter. Clubs like DBA, Snug Harbor, and The Blue Nile draw renowned jazz bands and solo performers, while restaurants such as The Three Muses and the Marigny Brasserie cater to the late-night crowds. The vibe is freewheeling and enthusiastic, with a lot of shoulder rubbing between locals and travelers. At evening’s end, there are plenty of cabs to ferry you home after your night on the town.
-
Insectarium
Many visitors know of the Audubon Nature Institute’s Aquarium of the Americas, but worth a look a few blocks up Canal Street in the old U.S. Custom House is their Insectarium and butterfly garden—North America’s largest museum devoted to insects and their relatives. Visitors will learn how mosquitoes influenced New Orleans’s history and gawp at exotic critters like rare pink katydids or giant hissing cockroaches. Biggest hit with kids: Bug Appétit, a snack bar featuring insects as the main ingredient in dishes like Cajun spiced crickets, chocolate “chirp” cookies, or queen-ant-topped hors d’oeuvres.
-
Garden District
Live oaks, wrought iron, pillars, and porticos are some of the aristocratic details of the Garden District, a neighborhood of spectacular 19th-century mansions built in styles ranging from Greek Revival to Gothic. Accessible from downtown via the St. Charles line streetcar, the Garden District is made for exploring. Take time to tour Lafayette Cemetery #1, quite possibly the most photogenic necropolis on the planet. Then make a reservation to dine at local favorite Commander’s Palace, the famous Brenna Family Restaurant located across the street from the tombs.
-
Magazine Street
Royal Street, and its antique shops, may still tempt some locals into the Quarter. But it’s along Magazine Street—from the Lower Garden District to Audubon Park in Uptown—that New Orleanians prefer to do their window-shopping. Stores to explore include Derby Pottery for its handmade tiles and Crescent City water-meter clocks; Hemline for its local fashion sense and sensibility; Dirty Coast for localized, graphic T-shirts; Mignon Faget for unique, Louisiana-inspired jewelry; and Perlis, a preppy clothing store known for its crawfish-logo polo shirts.
-
Streetcars
The best tour in New Orleans is only $1.25—the price of an adult fare on the city’s two major streetcar lines. (The shorter Riverfront line takes passengers along the river to the Quarter’s French Market.) The green cars of the St. Charles line head Uptown, trundling along that avenue’s “neutral ground,” the name for the landscaped medians that divide the traffic on the city’s grandest streets. Red cars on the Canal Street line terminate at historic cemeteries like Metairie Cemetery or City Park, where the New Orleans Museum of Art celebrated its 100th birthday in 2011.

Dinner Event
You won't want to miss the 2014 Dinner Event on the 41st floor of the New Orleans Marriott. Stepping in, you will be greeted with hors d'oeuvres and 
libations backdropped by possibly the most extraordinary view the city has to offer. The Marriott's top floor boasts beautiful panoramic Mississippi River and city views that stretch as far as the eye can see. While you relax and wind down from a day of classes and education, you can enjoy classic cocktails and traditional New Orleans fare.
This event is perfect to network with other pharmacies, get to know the Integra staff, discuss technology with participating vendors, and most of all, simply enjoy. As the evening progresses, light piano music will morph into a New Orleans style dueling piano session where you can request classic rock & roll or just simply lean back, take in the view, and enjoy the fun.
