The ED and trauma center is now seen as the front door to each hospital. According to recent study, emergency rooms recorded nearly 120 million patient visits in 2008, a 26 percent increase from 1999. With an ever growing population and an increased demand for ED services and patient care needs, managing an efficient ED is more crucial than ever. ACI’s EMERGENCY ROOMS OF THE FUTURE will provide attendees with the expert knowledge and tools to reduce costs, generate new revenue, and improve the overall operational efficiency of their Emergency and Trauma Departments.
Don’t miss out on your chance to learn from leading emergency medicine experts about the benefits, strategies, financial issues and many more aspects to updating and upgrading your emergency room.
Join us October 20-22, 2010 for a gathering of administrative executives, vice presidents, directors and managers. This two-day strategic business forum will focus on what is new in emergency medicine and what hospitals are doing to upgrade their ER facilities and services, increase revenue, and improve patient satisfaction.
