"Laugh More, Stress Less" presented by Jeff Justice, Humor Resources Director 

Project managers are busy people who often juggle too many projects and wear too many hats. They’re problem solvers. They’re stressed.

This informative and entertaining sessions will show you how to laugh more and stress less to avoid burn-out. Jeff Justice literally wrote the book on it. He has spent the last 17 years applying his unique brand of work-appropriate humor as a professional speaker, humor-skills teacher and humor coach to positively impact human interaction in the workplace.

Humor is a vital management tool. Join us at the next PMI dinner event to learn how to employ your own sense of humor. All are welcome.

Architectural, Engineering, & Construction (AEC) Forum - 171114

 "U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) transforming to Risk Informed Decision Making"
Presented by  Deborah Hesse Scerno, Sr. Environmental Planner,  South Atlantic Division, US Army Corps of Engineers

The PMI Atlanta AEC Forum is a focus group that hosts regular events with ranging topics in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields. We will show the importance of solid project management in these related fields of study.

Presentation

Currently USACE project and program management meetings focus on milestones and budget, especially on whether or not they will be met.  Discussions in those meetings often focus on the cause for an increase in cost or a delay - but rarely do they focus on the risks that were considered in the decisions that were made leading up to those increases or delays. 

On June 2, 2017, James Dalton, Director of Civil Works, released a memo entitled "Further Advancing Project Delivery Efficiency and Effectiveness of USACE Civil Works."  Within the five tenants he proposed are several mentions of risk informed decision making and timely problem solving.   This talk will briefly discuss USACE current project and program management and how incorporating risk informed decision making could possibly change USACE and USACE project and program management.

Joint Healthcare & Technology Forum - 171115

"Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) - The What, Why, and Hows"
presented by:  Lucy Osuna, Healthcare IT Professional

Join us for a special joint meeting between the Technology and Healthcare Forums!

Presentation

With the explosion of products targeting the patient consumer, i.e. Fitbit and Apple’s Health app, the growth of personal health data is on the rise. Collecting this data has been the normal activity when visiting the doctor. It is expected that vitals, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight will be collected and recorded. As healthcare has evolved outside of a doctor’s office so has the collection of this data. Vitals can now be collected at home throughout the day to create a more robust health record of a patient. However, this is not the only data that patients can produce. 

The focus of this talk is to delve into Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD). What is considered PGHD? What can be done with it? Who owns it? Why is it important? What security safeguards come with it? These questions will be discussed as well as their implications.
