More than 30 speakers have been confirmed to date. Early Bird registration is now open. Click here for complete conference details.

The Future of Care Delivery

Healthcare providers are being inundated with new quality and cost requirements along with rising expectations about what it means to care for patients effectively.

What began as a conceptual framework established by the Affordable Care Act has now evolved into a very specific set of directives and expectations aimed at transforming the nation’s healthcare delivery system.

This new framework is rooted in the understanding that a patient’s health and wellness needs are best served when care is integrated across the spectrum of services and that linkages are needed among medical providers and other programs when addressing care for medically and socially vulnerable patients, populations and communities.

HMA’s October conference will identify best practices, resources, tools and approaches to help providers deliver integrated care effectively within single systems and through collaboration among multiple providers and community-based services. Click here to view the agenda.
