Market Intelligence Subscriptions
The OPEN MINDS Circle is the “go to” place and one-stop resource that over 40,000 executives use to find market intelligence and best practice management solutions for any range of health and human service programs. Circle members receive daily market intelligence e-mail updates, weekly news reports, and monthly management newsletters – all from this one convenient subscription. Premium members also have access to the 30,000+ articles, presentations, government reports, industry analysis, statistics, and more available on our web site's Industry Resource Library.
The OPEN MINDS RFP HotLine is the premier bid notification service for the health and human service field. This daily electronic subscription service reviews, selects, and summarizes hundreds of potential contracts before sending targeted bid notices to members in a daily e-mail. Over 15,000 RFPs were reported to subscribers in 2011 – and the recent federal initiatives have only increased the number of opportunities since then.
