Program Overview

This year’s Workforce Summit will look more closely at the emerging trends regarding physician engagement/alignment as the industry changes and heads toward ACOs and payment reform. How are hospitals mobilizing PCPs, specialists, and service lines to better serve the community and move away from volume and toward value?
