If you are a leader in case/care management, you cannot afford to miss this important one-day Summit.
Healthcare is at a tipping point. Everyday thousands of people who have one or more chronic condition require tools and resources to meet their individual needs despite decreasing resources. Updated competencies are required by professionals like you to ensure you can monitor and quickly react to changes in patients’ conditions. We know you’re being asked to do more with less due to shrinking budgets and are held accountable for the medical errors and quality concerns occurring in healthcare across the care continuum. If these challenges sound familiar, then you are among the hundreds of case/care management leaders who need to attend the Dorland Health Leadership Summit.

The Dorland Health Leadership Summit is designed for all members of the care coordination team, nurses, case/care managers, directors, social workers, discharge planners and others responsible for ensuring consumers receive quality, safe, evidence-based care in the least restrictive setting at the right time and in the most cost-effective manner. Tackling today’s patient-centered healthcare challenges requires leadership and a team that is informed and motivated – and who have the competencies to manage the diverse challenges that come at this time of dynamic change. To be proficient in your role, you need to take time away from the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the workplace, meet with peers, and learn from leaders who are makings strides and developing resources that will allow improved performance. That’s what you can expect on May 11 at the Dorland Health Leadership Summit.

The Leadership Summit is the first of its kind to bring together current and future leaders working at the point of care to learn, network and share new ideas that can be taken back to the workplace to add value to their organizations – and value to themselves.  We hope to see you on May 11, 2011, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
