Premier Annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition
Request for concurrent session proposals: An invitation to share best practices
June 16-19, 2009, Anaheim, CA
In 2008, Premier hosted over 3,000 healthcare professionals at the 2008 Annual Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition in Nashville. This is Premier’s largest membership event featuring multi-faceted opportunities to interact with peers, suppliers, industry experts and Premier to exchange ideas and share best practices that have immediate impact on improving quality while safely reducing the cost of care.
Share your success
The conference’s concurrent sessions are your opportunity to demonstrate your expertise by sharing your best practices and organizational successes with colleagues from around the country. This peer-to-peer learning is one of the most important aspects of the conference – a fact that is consistently reinforced through member evaluations.
These sessions are a showcase for Premier members to provide an important forum for accelerating knowledge transfer.
The sessions include:
- clinical,
- supply chain,
- leadership,
- risk management,
- safety,
- workforce excellence,
- continuum of care,
- operational,
- pharmacy,
- and other topics.
