NCPDP membership is $650 per year and that includes all of the standards that NCPDP creates, including the different versions. During that year, any updates to the standards are also available free of charge with the membership. Also included in the membership is the ability to attend NCPDP quarterly work group meetings at no cost, and attendance at NCPDP educational sessions and Annual Conference at a member fee. I believe if you check with other like organizations, you will find a fee of some type as well since the organizations must receive funding to continue the creation of work.

For a long time I thought you did so intentially, calling out Perot as masked theives. Then I noticed the Perot link was the same from one as the one on the top of your post and figured it was just an error... Inga, I think you entered the wrong link on you 5 de Mayo story.

We were so thrilled when MEDITECH spoke to us and let us know that we were approved as one of their Advanced Clinical Consultant's that we jumped the gun on our formal announcement! VCS will be added to MEDITECH’s approved Advanced Clinical Consultants webpage. However, the actual link has not yet been added to MEDITECH’s website and therefore clients will not yet see VCS’s name on the webpage. VCS is working with MEDITECH Marketing to get the link on the page in the near future. Can you blame us for being so excited?

Funny thing is that those in health care point to the key role that HIMSS will play over the next several years with all of the money flowing into Health IT. It will be an important voice for their hospital vendor constituency but the HIMSS Annual Conference is among the walking dead. They just don't know it yet.
