The Future of Healthcare Operations: A Retooled Look
The only consistency in today’s healthcare environment is change. As the healthcare industry moves to a value-based, data-driven setting, the traditional role of chief operating officer begins to morph as well. To meet organizational needs today, the COO role can be filled by a number of different positions, backgrounds and experiences, but will require a unique skillset.
To address the changing role of today’s healthcare operations, ACHE has revamped its former COO Challenge Seminar to implement new learning approaches and incorporate new ways of thinking about healthcare operations. You are invited to join healthcare industry experts Rod Brace and David James, MD, JD, for Retooling for the Future in Healthcare Operations: The Changing Role of Leaders, an experiential workshop to examine the current trends and prepare you and your organization for the future.
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity, Dec. 3–4 in Bonita Springs, Fla.—register today.
