COME TO FLORIDA!

With the coming changes in the health care system, more focus is being placed on the nursing profession. Is nursing’s role simply being redefined or completely reformed? As the health care landscape evolves, now is the time to focus on your skills and become a leader in this dynamic environment.
In this era of accountability, attendees will need the practical knowledge and the tools to reduce medical errors, ensure patient safety, eliminate waste, eliminate unnecessary services, and avoid potentially harmful delays in care. The result is a safer, more efficient and cost-effective system that better satisfies the needs of patients, providers, purchasers, and payers.
At the conclusion of the conference, attendees will be able to:
- Demonstrate how effective communication and appropriate care transition will improve patient outcomes.
- Recognize the importance of personal certification in career development and defining yourself as a leader.
- Analyze health reform changes and legal ramifications of evolving initiatives.
- Discuss the unification among risk management, quality assurance, and medical error.
- Evaluate the roles of medication therapy management and care integration in the prevention of errors.
- Consider the components of effective workers’ compensation cases - nursing responsibility, utilization review, and claims
management – and their overall value to the nursing profession.
- Describe the new initiatives in health reform and the impact on the nursing profession.

Value, Quality, Safety, and Integrity: The Essential Elements of Accountability
In 2010, America is facing a challenge. How can we improve care for all patients at a reasonable cost? Will aligning payment and measurement incentives improve patient safety and quality? What are the elements that are needed to ensure compliance, efficiency, and accountability in health care? What are the practical steps that payers, providers, and purchasers need to take now?
ABQAURP has assembled an extraordinary team of presenters to assess the current health care quality and safety landscape, and to offer practical solutions.
At the conclusion of the conference, attendees will:
- Understand how evidence-based principles are essential to the management of chronic pain treatment throughout the health care continuum
- Evaluate the impact of program integrity on procedures, technologies, and pharmaceuticals
- Appraise how accountable care organizations and global payment systems may support improved coordination and management of patient care
- Identify the challenges of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems
- Discuss how organizations have utilized coordination of care to promote health system change
- Recognize the value of interoperability in connecting health care across providers
- Describe how Unique Device Identification (UDI) initiatives support patient safety outcomes
- Explain to your health care system how compliance initiatives support patient safety and quality of care
- Define Meaningful Use (MU) in electronic health information systems and how it can improve patient health care behaviors
For over 30 years, ABQAURP has provided the patient safety and health care quality foundation for Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Hospitals, Health Care Systems,
Purchasers, and Payers to thrive, especially now in these turbulent and trying times. Join us to learn why value, quality, safety, and integrity are the essential elements of accountability working together to help us stay afloat.
