Digestive Health Centers

Date: 3rd February 2016 - 5th February 2016 Location: Chicago - Illinois - USA

A Three-Day National Conference Featuring Real World Case Studies, Research Findings, Organizational Models and Outcomes from Leading Digestive Health Centers and Programs

Drive Excellence, Meet Growing Patient Demand, Keep Market Share and Improve Outcomes in your Digestive Health and Gastroenterology Programs

The aging population, increased rates of cancer screenings, new procedures and other factors, are driving an increase in service volumes. Unlike other service lines, Digestive Health is poised for significant growth across care settings.

Still, hospitals are struggling to capitalize on this opportunity. Payer pressure, rising patient sensitivity around price and access, are shifting GI screenings and diagnostics out of the hospital to lower-cost, higher-throughput sites. Rising patient demand for GI services will only accentuate the effects of this shift over time. Without planning around this shift, hospitals and health systems risk losing critical screening and surgical referrals.

Hospital leaders must adopt new strategies for program growth. This conference designed to provide a strategic framework for developing a best-in-class center or program.

Through industry experience and discussion of best practices, attendees will hear from top service line leaders and innovators, Developing, Operating and Advancing Digestive Health Centers, will deliver sound strategy and business guidance for driving excellence in Digestive Health service line development and management.
