"OUTCOMES" in the post-acute industry are not going away and most organizations are smartly trying to clarify what that "buzzword" really means and how it will impact their organization.

If you are interested in changing the outcomes produced by your agency, meeting the needs of your patients at the highest level possible and gaining a significant competitive advantage over your competition then join us for the presentation.
