Healthcare providers who work in the hospital setting are constantly seeking new ideas and methods to improve and deliver high quality care and are often the leaders in improving healthcare delivery and quality. Sharing current quality processes and the most updated clinical pathways across different hospitals is important in advancing healthcare delivery in the US. This conference provides a proper forum for healthcare providers to update healthcare providers on the newest concepts of hospital medicine and share their successes and failures of quality program implementation.

It aims to share updates in the newest advances in clinical disease management, practice management, quality improvement, pharmacology, medical technology, evidence-based standards of care, and practice guidelines.
