About the Conference

4th Annual Observation Patient Management Congress

Innovations in Observation Patient Management – Prevent Unnecessary Admissions, Maximize Reimbursements and Leverage Evidence-Based Triage Protocols to Improve Short-Term Care Quality

September 20 – 21, 2012 • The Peabody Hotel • Orlando, FL

Is Your ED Leaving Money on the Table?

Faced with increasing patient volumes, declining reimbursements and overworked ED staffs, hospitals must be prepared to leverage Observation Patient Management. Well structured Observation Units have resulted in financial gains, improved clinical outcomes and superior patient satisfaction ratings.

Global Media Dynamic’s 4th Annual Observation Patient Management Congress will highlight the pertinent challenges facing Observation Unit staffs – ED physicians, Hospitalists, Case Managers and Billing and Coding professionals. Additionally, the conference will highlight how and why hospitals that are not utilizing Observation Patient Management, are leaving money on the table.

The 4th Annual Observation Patient Management Congress will allow you to walk away with an understanding of current trends and market practices, and innovative strategies to prepare yourself for the challenges that lie ahead. In addition to providing the latest, evidence-based intelligence on Observation Patient Management, the Congress will provide you with unprecedented networking and professional development opportunities. All sessions are designed to facilitate a high degree of interaction between speaker faculty members and fellow attendees.
