Innovation Summit 2013: Collaborative Care Models is a live 1-day event to attend virtually. You are able to attend one session or the entire day!
It will bring together leaders in the health care profession and, specifically, the physical therapy profession to explore integrated models of care such as accountable care organizations (ACOs), patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), and bundled payment, and the role of physical therapy, with the goal of developing strategies for bolstering the involvement of physical therapists in these models.
Participants will be able to watch live as their colleagues, physicians, large health systems, and policy makers who are actively participating in and at the decision-making helm in these models discuss the role of physical therapy and the future of health care. As a virtual conference attendee you will be able to incorporate these innovative ideas into an action plan for integrating new models of care into your practice.
We also encourage you to participate through Twitter at @APTAtweets using hashtag #PTSummit.
Objectives
