10th Annual Observation Management Summit

Welcome to the 10th Annual Observation Management Summit! We at World Congress are very excited to celebrate a decade of holding this conference. 2012’s conference was met with great success and leave unbounded potential for 2013. We will continue to develop and advance the program with NEW innovative topics and NEW case studies.

The concept of observation units are spreading far and wide across the health care industry. With most hospitals having or considering opening a center, 2013 will focus on bringing the critical tools and metrics to enhance and expand the unit. Skills that are vital to observation success such as documentation, reimbursement, staffing issues, changes in health care delivery models, will all be covered.

New for 2013:

• New health care delivery models are developing and changing, what will this mean for observation units
• Discover how bundled payments will affect observation  medicine
• How to expand the services of the observation unit to maximize revenue
• Discuss the new and evolving role of the physician advisor and how that will bring cost savings through decreasing denials and filing appeals
• Best practices to utilization review, patient classification and denial prevention
