Comprehensive Cancer Programs & Services
With the number of cancer survivors anticipated to double in the next ten years, how will your organization position itself to meet the demand?
In the face of a growing population and an increasingly competitive landscape for cancer care, it is now more important than ever for facilities to distinguish themselves through providing the latest in cancer services. Patients are demanding interactive, patient friendly facilities and convenient, personalized care. In a challenging economy and declining reimbursements, cancer administrators must enhance and streamline their programs, services and facilities in order to survive.
ACI’s 13th National Conference on Adding, Updating and Expanding Comprehensive Cancer Programs and Services For Hospitals and Health Systems will bring together leading hospital executives, physicians, nurse administrators and individuals involved in the care of cancer patients. Our three-day symposium will focus on developing and effectively managing a more competitive and comprehensive cancer program and adding or expanding oncology services to better detect, diagnose and treat cancer. Obtain expert knowledge through case studies, research findings and successful organizational models from leading national cancer programs. Register today for this unique networking and informational opportunity to develop tools and maximize the potential of your cancer center.
Join us March 9-11, 2011 for Adding, Updating and Expanding Comprehensive Cancer Programs and Services For Hospitals and Health Systems, and hear from growing and nationally recognized organizations with progressive cancer programs that are positioned to meet evolving physician and patient demands.
