This one-day session is presented on day 1 of the Healthcare Service Excellence Conference (Oct 28), and is a one-of-a-kind learning experience for anyone who is interested in the competitive and financial health of your hospital.

Because ‘patient experience’ will shortly become a direct and quantifiable cost center with the HCAHPS-only risk for some hospitals estimated to range from $300,000 to substantially higher, this is an important session to attend!

• “Excellent, very valuable.” Keith Butler, CEO Laughlin Memorial Hospital, Greenville, TN

Presented by Brian Lee, you’ll learn 22 practical, powerful skills, systems, and strategies to master HCAHPS, VBP, and maximize reimbursement, some of which are highlighted below:

1. Create a vision for excellence Master HCAHPS and Pay for Reporting Maximize reimbursement by mastering VBP
2. Reposition your ED as both your Marketing Agency and your front door Use the 60-day quick-start action plan
