ACI’s 14th National Conference on Neuroscience Centers of Excellence Summit will be held November 10-12, 2010 in Washington D.C. Featuring some of America’s best hospitals, the conference will focus around hands-on case studies and interactive sessions on a variety of neuroscience related topics such as program development, emerging trends, physician integration, outcomes measurement, and reimbursement. This not-to-miss event will examine proven solutions and quality metrics from the top industry leaders in the neuroscience care and provide attendees with an action plan on how to enhance productivity and maximize ROI.
With an estimated one in three Americans suffering at some point from a neurological disorder, and an increasing number of aging population with an increased awareness of neurological diseases/treatments, the Neurosciences is becoming one of the most important clinical areas for hospitals and health systems to manage. Due to the recent advances in technology, declining payor reimbursements, and increasing number of baby-boomers, most hospitals, physicians and healthcare facilities are starting to see the benefits of defining themselves by centers of excellence and are willing to invest in comprehensive neuroscience programs. It is imperative for you to develop the planning and investment strategy to succeed in this highly competitive field and capture the consumer market. Join us November 10-12, 2010 in Washington DC in a gathering of administrative and medical leaders all striving to advance their neuroscience and spine service lines. Geared more towards the hospital side of Neuroscience/Spine business this conference offers the ideal forum to learn from experienced leaders on how to develop, operate and maintain a comprehensive neuroscience program.
