2010 Joint Commission Annual Ambulatory Care Conference:
"Ambulatory Care Accreditation – It Does Make a Difference!"
October 28-29, 2010
Chicago, IL
Product Code EDU1036
Ambulatory care is the largest and most widely used segment of health care in America, with over one billion visits made annually to physicians and outpatient clinics. As ambulatory care visits continue to climb, and with the current potential change in America’s health care, providing quality patient care will become more challenging. The 15th Annual Ambulatory Care Conference will bring you the most authoritative information on standards, survey process changes, and best practices seen in the field. Hear from keynote speakers, your peers, and most importantly from Joint Commission staff, executives, and representatives from the Standards Interpretation Group.
Returning by demand! Due to large number of requests from the 2009 conference in November, more time will be added to the agenda to provide insight from Joint Commission Surveyors and Joint Commission Resources Consultants about what they see during surveys and consults, lessons learned, and how improvements were made.
You'll want to attend the Pre-Conference, too!
