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.
What Is an Audioconference?
It is a live event that includes session handouts, an interactive question and answer period, and access for an unlimited number of participants at each call-in site. However, only one site can be offered per registration. It is impermissible for an organization to purchase one registration and to operate multiple sites through an internal telephone system. During the live Audioconference participants will be able to ask questions and make comments. The Audioconference faculty has agreed to take follow-up questions via email. Audioconferences are simple, accessible, cost effective and reach a broad audience locally.
