Annual Behavioral Health Care
Conference November 17-18
Learn strategies that provide ‘Hope in Uncertain Times’
(Oak Brook, Ill. – October 8, 2009) Health care reform is at the forefront of the national health care agenda. How will the changes impact behavioral health care services?
The Joint Commission and Joint Commission Resources (JCR) will offer behavioral health care providers new strategies to address these challenges during the 6th Annual Behavioral Health Care Conference, “Hope in Uncertain Times” to be held November 17-18 at the Westin Chicago River North in Chicago. JCR is a not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission.
Although the science of mental illness has expanded exponentially over the last 20 years and an evidence-based approach to the prevention, early interventional management and promotion of well-being of those in need of behavioral health care has become standard, providers are grappling with understanding what will be the model of care for the 21st century. The conference will provide participants with in-depth information on the current state of behavioral health care services. A November 16 pre-conference, Behavioral Health Care 2010 Standards and Survey Process Update, will explore new standards and recent changes to the survey process.
Cost of the conference is $729 per registrant, or $629 for registration before October 17; teams of three or more participants from the same organization may register for $595 per person. Cost of the pre-conference is $425 per person, or $349 for registration by October 16. To register, please call customer service at (877) 223-6866, or visit the JCR website at http://ww.jcrinc.com.
