Dear Colleague,
ASHRM is coming to Boston for our 2008 Annual Conference & Exhibition, healthcare risk management’s meeting place for sharing revolutionary ideas to achieve safe and trusted healthcare. We are looking forward to a spirited week.
* The general sessions promise to be highpoints each day. Provocative keynote speakers will make you think and even laugh. This year, Friday’s distinctive annual business meeting segues into our opening keynote. Come for the “Celebration of Leadership” and stay for an inspirational program.
* A carefully selected faculty of leading authorities in healthcare risk management will share wisdom and experience in dozens of engaging concurrent sessions.
* Our Leadership Development track is new this year, featuring topics selected to enhance your professional development. Also new on Friday afternoon are the Learning Labs, 90-minute structured interactive sessions for sharing best practices.
* The educational centerpiece of ASHRM’s professional development offerings is the Barton Certificate Program in Healthcare Risk Management. The Applications module, which will be offered immediately before the conference, is an excellent opportunity to learn more about risk financing, legal & regulatory issues, claims administration and risk management program development from an expert faculty.
* Credentials help elevate professionals in a competitive world, and the Certified Professional in Healthcare Risk Management designation is our profession’s premier mark of achievement. This year, ASHRM is conveniently providing a CPHRM examination preparation course in conjunction with the conference for those who are planning to take the exam soon.
* Getting together with your peers is another great way to learn and share. ASHRM’s Annual Conference & Exhibition provides unmatched networking opportunities. If you’re new, make the most of the experience by attending the informative first-timers’ lunch on Friday.
* The profession’s largest exhibition brings together providers of products and services to improve our effectiveness as safety and risk financing leaders.
Our annual meeting is also a festive reunion of friends, and Boston provides a wonderful setting for that. We encourage everyone to explore the vibrant, historic downtown of “America’s walking city.”
We’ve met so many of our most cherished colleagues at “ASHRM,” and we are looking forward to meeting you. Please take a few moments now to review this year’s lineup of keynotes and educational sessions and join us in Boston for four (or more!) fantastic days in October.
Come and see why ASHRM is leading the way in healthcare risk management.
