Win a Free Registration to CALTCM 2014 Annual Meeting

by Tim Gieseke, MD, CMD, Chair, Education Committee

As the new Chairperson for CALTCM’s Education Committee, I would like express my gratitude to Dr. Mira Cantrell and all of our committee members for the substantial time and effort invested in making our annual meetings truly interdisciplinary, practical, and targeted for improving the quality of LTC in our state.

This work never truly stops.  We are in the midst of planning for our May 2-3, 2014 annual meeting which will again be at the Omni Hotel in LA.  We anticipate having clear guidance by 2014 from CMS on Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) expectations and are therefore building this into each of our half-day workshops.  We also expect more experience with Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and the Dual Eligible programs that will have an impact on Post-Acute Care.  We are embedding QAPI into our half-day workshops to help you prepare for these changes.  

We have developed a survey monkey to insure our plans for this meeting address the needs of our members.

 This survey will only take about 3 minutes.  We would very much appreciate your assistance in taking the time to fill it out.  One random survey participant will be chosen to receive a complimentary full registration for the 2014 meeting, with a value of around $200.  To qualify, you must complete the survey by July 31, 2013.

Thank you for helping develop a meeting that advances the quality of LTC in California!
