The tradition of the annual conference continues as the premier Joint Commission conference focusing on decisions and actions for health care executives seeking to improve quality and reduce errors, contain costs, increase productivity, enhance execution, achieve organizational greatness, and to build leaders throughout their organization.  This conference provides in-depth tracks on patient care, leadership and implementation surrounding the National Patient Safety goals.
 

Faculty teaching this conference are not only high-level respected leaders,  but most importantly they are experts.  Track faculty are selected to provide best case practices, solutions, obstacles for overcoming challenges, and tools for implementing solutions.  Faculties for the track sessions are selected from abstract submissions with proven solutions and positive examples to share.  In addition, the conference provides participants with multiple outstanding opportunities for networking and problem-solving interactions with their peers.
