Yesterday evening Georgette and Stacy Weiss, owner of Weisshouse, spoke to a group of Chatham University’s aspiring entrepreneurs and their mentors involved with the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship. In light of their final meeting, Georgette and Stacy focused on the customer service and sales principles that reinforce long-term relationships with clients and customers, and have been key in their respective successes.

While each entrepreneur brought a unique business or concern to discuss, it was amazing to see Georgette, Stacy, and their peers apply a diverse range of experience to offer insights toward success. A former Executive in Residence to the program, Georgette was elated to present alongside her own mentor, Stacy Weiss, to the newest class of business owners. Finally, both Georgette and Stacy were thrilled to discover and connect with such an inspired group, promising further success for women and the small business community in the Pittsburgh region.

Notes from Health Care Innovations 2010

---

Monday July 12, 2010 | No Comments

Georgette recently attended the Health Care Innovations conference alongside 500 other health care industry professionals in the Pittsburgh region. The conference allowed various professionals to engage in a trade discussion inspired by the region’s medical IT expertise, including common industry goals, healthcare IT integration, and a nod to new products in eye care.

With a common goal of 2015 for paperless patient care, several presentations predicted the growth of electronic health records (EHR) practices through continued medical device development and integration. Citing an adoption rate of EHR that doubled in past two years, researchers and manufacturers alike are eager to explore the data and feedback from new users.

Disease prevention was also a major player in the day’s agenda– as healthcare IT integration for genomic features will allow earlier disease detection toward a goal of genetic disease prevention. Finally, discussions turned to a new biometric contact lens currently in development; the device will monitor and store all health measurements! PC will keep a close ‘eye’ on more news concerning these new lenses.
