According to the American Heart Association, today more than 70 million Americans suffer from one or more types of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the nation’s No. 1 killer.
Why are many hospitals across the nation expanding their Cardiac Departments? Due to the large aging baby-boomer population and increased competition for Cardiac Services among healthcare organizations, designing and managing an efficient Cardiac Department is more crucial than ever. Cardiac care is one of the largest contributors to a hospital’s profits and its business significance makes it a vital area of focus. ACI’s INTEGRATED CARDIOVASCULAR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES conference will provide attendees with the expert knowledge and tools to reduce costs, enhance revenue, and increase the overall market share of their Cardiac Departments.
Join us July 22-23, 2010 in Chicago for a gathering of administrative and medical leaders. This two-day strategic business forum will focus on how hospitals and health systems can successfully add, update and expand their Cardiac facilities to meet the increased demand for specialized services including private inpatient rooms, acuity-adaptable rooms, family member areas, and an education center. Learn how to build a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary Cardiac team to bring the most advanced care to each patient. With the massive increase in competition for Cardiac Services this is a conference you cannot afford to miss.
Register today for this unique networking and informational opportunity to develop tools and maximize the potential of your Cardiac department.

With the rise of baby-boomers, healthcare marketplace is becoming more consumer-oriented and this new generation is more demanding for better service and care proven to work. To meet the demands and expectations of today’s healthcare consumer, remain competitive in an ever-changing healthcare environment, and provide better service while dealing with rising costs & economic challenges, it is very critical for you to find new ways that will set your organization apart from their competitors and draw customers in.
A growing number of hospitals have been exploring new approaches to the “hospitality” concept that focuses on the patient needs, their families and hospital staff. They are investing money into building a more human-centered environment that is flexible as well as appealing. Some of the efforts include adding concierge services on duty, building VIP suites and spas, converting semi-private patient rooms to private patient rooms, adding Internet connections and using natural lighting and hotel-style furniture, creating upscale bathrooms, or serving gourmet meals. According to the Census Bureau, the hospital industry has spent nearly $100 billion in the past five years on new facilities/luxurious buildings packed with advanced equipment – up to %47 from the previous five years. Spending was likely to reach a record of $23.7 billion in 2005 and US will spend more than $20 billion per year at the end of the decade.
This conference will highlight the best case studies presented by America’s top hospitals ranked in U.S. News World & Report with a focus on how to build, operate and manage upscale patient services and facilities, as well as address innovative solutions on how to overcome major challenges healthcare executives are currently facing.
Senior level administrators and industry leaders from America’s most prestigious hospitals and organizations will share their latest experiences and key strategies on how to:
• Develop a business plan on how to create a new upscale patient service line
• Assess your market and evaluate current and potential opportunities within it
• Use hospitality concept for competitive advantage
• Focus more on work-force development, service excellence, and other quality issues at a strategic level
• Leverage corporate culture to brand your medical center inside and out
• Successfully integrate healing design concepts and new technology to help achieve competitive advantage
• Improve operational efficiency, increase patient outcomes and employee satisfaction

An organized and well-planned approach to stroke treatment can result in improved patient care, long-term financial benefits and an increased competitive advantage for your organization.
Highlighting the latest trends, unique case studies, hands-on experiences, and innovative strategies from America’s top hospitals featured on The U.S. News & World Report, this nationally recognized meeting will give you the most up-to date information on how to build, adapt, market, measure and optimize your Comprehensive Stroke Programs.

Implementing green practices at hospitals is good for public health, the environment and the overall economy. Whether building a green hospital from the ground up or simply making small changes in energy consumption, eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals or improving indoor air quality, patients, employees and the environment all benefit. And although some of the changes create an increase in cost initially, in the long run, financial benefits over the life of these changes can well exceed the initial investment.

Active baby boomers will enter their 60s in the next few years and will need knee or hip replacements, or maybe an ACL repaired so they can continue the active lifestyle that is their hallmark.
Preparation to meet the health needs of an aging population boom is in full swing, with Rehabilitation/Orthopedic services and care at the forefront of this growing demand. Now it is more crucial then ever for hospitals to plan effectively for success in this increasingly competitive field. Hospitals are changing market tactics in order to provide more post-acute care and rehabilitation services – expanding services to treat core brain, spine and orthopaedic patients, establishing rehab programs designed and marketed directly to athletes and structuring and programs to prepare for an increase in elderly and arthritic patients.
To increase patient volume and reach one’s market potential in the orthopedic services market, hospital and physician leaders need to have the knowledge and savvy to leverage emerging trends, treatments and technologies; while implementing cost-effective initiatives and setting the right course to emerge as a rehabilitation leader in your market.
Join us June 26-27 2008 in Chicago in a gathering of administrative and medical leaders all striving to advance their neuroscience service lines. This conference offers the ideal forum to learn from experienced leaders on how to develop, operate and maintain a comprehensive rehabilitation/orthopedic program.
