Letter from the editor: Introducing the Greeley Medical Staff Institute Symposium

Dear medical staff leader or professional,

We know that travel and education budgets are often the first to get cut during harsh financial times such as these. But we repeatedly hear from our valued customers that need for training and education has never been greater. Hospitals are facing formidable challenges and need contemporary tools to overcome them—and that’s where the Greeley Medical Staff Institute Symposium comes in. 

HCPro and The Greeley Company have teamed up to create the Greeley Medical Staff Institute Symposium, November 8-9 at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL to provide you with the tools and training you need to maintain a successful organization. During the symposium, you’ll have the opportunity to: 

• Prepare for the changes healthcare reform will require of physicians and hospitals
• Identify and prioritize physician economic alignment opportunities
• Design a strategy for managing conflicts of interest
• Develop an ROI strategy for your hospitalist program
• Assess the value of implementing a surgical hospitalist program
• Understand and improve publicly reported quality data
• Organize an efficient and successful peer review process
• Identify the effect of PSO protections on your peer review process

To help you get the funding you need to attend this dynamic learning event, we’ve developed a letter that you can customize and present to your manager or leader outlining how important your participation is. We hope this is a useful tool for you.

And remember, we’re always listening—if you have questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to e-mail me at ejones@hcpro.com.
