Register Now for the 2013 Leadership Conference
|
|
|
Transitions between care settings is not a new concept for case management professionals. Case managers understand that a safe, efficient transition can make all the difference for a patient. However, with increased scrutiny and penalties for excessive readmissions, organizations nationwide are reevaluating existing models and implementing innovative programs to help ensure patients transition safely and remain out of the hospital.
A two-day intensive workshop November 6-7 in Las Vegas, the 2013 ACMA Leadership Conference is focused specifically on Transitions of Care. The event's experienced faculty consists of industry experts and health care leaders who will discuss community partnerships, provide tools, and present examples and successful models that can be replicated and incorporated into your current practice.
The conference is designed for hospital/health system case management professionals in leadership positions. The conference is a two-day intensive workshop focused on transitions of care. Sessions will focus on a variety of issues affecting case management leaders, including:
- Building new community relationships
- Addressing health insurance exchanges
- Helping patients grasp transitions of care
- Maintaining the integrity and distinction of the role of case managers
