Highlights of this year’s meeting:
- Keynote address from Britt Berrett, President of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and Executive Vice President of Texas Health Resources, and Paul Spiegelman, founder and CEO of The Beryl Companies. Britt and Paul will be discussing their book: “Patients Come Second.”
In any business, you can’t take care of customers if you don’t take care of employees. Healthcare is no different. It’s not that patients are unimportant. But, there is a direct correlation between employee loyalty and customer loyalty. And with more restrictive reimbursements on the horizon, the pressure will continue to rise on patient acquisition and retention.
- Workgroups, facilitated by the keynote speakers, will discuss key points of “Patients Come Second” and devise concrete action plans to bring back to the hospital.
- Inspiration and wisdom that will empower leaders to take a big step forward in their leadership capabilities from Kathy Bollinger, FACHE, CHIC, President, Arizona West Region, Banner Healthcare System, Phoenix, AZ
