Conference on Practice Improvement

December 6-9, 2018 • Tampa Marriott Waterside • Tampa, Florida

  
 
  
 
  


 

Health care delivery is changing. Residency programs are transitioning to competency based education. Business models are evolving as an increasing number of physicians and other providers become employed by large health systems.  Payers and the public are demanding better outcomes at a lower cost. And physicians and other providers are trying to deliver on expectations, often to the detriment of their personal well-being.

The Conference on Practice Improvement brings together providers, researchers, educators, and practice administrators to re-imagine health care delivery, education, and technology. 

Attend the 2018 Conference on Practice Improvement and come home with practical skills, information, and resources to transform your practice to achieve the quadruple aim. Learn to create interprofessional, high-functioning teams that improve efficiency and provide better patient care, and network with others who are committed to continuous practice improvement and innovation.

  • Practice Management and Innovation 
  • MACRA/Payment Models
