AUDIOCONFERENCE OVERVIEW
|
|
Through payment reform, public reporting requirements, and enforcement, the federal government is actively changing its focus from a passive payer of health care services to an active purchaser of only high quality care. To comply with government 's new focus, hospital Board members, executive leaders, clinicians, and staff must understand the government's intent to connect the right to payment to quality. This means that most hospitals' infrastructure must change from a siloed approach to one where compliance and quality are integrated. Our speakers will discuss the most recent, up-to-date actions by state and federal governments to drive quality of care of patient safety and practical steps that you can take to ensure that your institution is in compliance with governmental mandates.
