Keeping up with the latest developments in the industry is an important part of the hospital administrator, health system executive, and medical practice manager role. After all, the healthcare arena is continuously evolving. Ensuring you are up to date on the most recent technology, trends, and best practices is essential for your and your organization’s success. Attending industry conferences is a great way to stay informed.
While we are halfway through 2018, if there is still room for a summit, congress, or forum in your organization’s budget, consider attending one of the following events. We have highlighted one for each of the year’s remaining months.
