- Hospital Revenue Cycle Management in the Era of "Affordable Care"
-
Feb 6, 2012 - Feb 7, 2012,
Bahia Resort Hotel, San Diego, California United StatesAs more and more consumers move to Medicaid and Medicare to cover their medical needs, the debt burden of hospitals is increasing. Hospital Revenue Cycle departments are looking for ways to streamline their processes, increase accuracy, and cut spending to try and balance out the new costs. Additionally, new government mandates such as the new ICD-10 coding system, the introduction of ACO's and bundle payment programs, the new HIPAA 50-10 compliance, and the forthcoming Healthcare Reform are forcing these departments to revamp their system and prepare for unpredictable changes in the future. All spectrums, from registration to audits, will be affected and influenced by these new mandates.
Our conference will be the first to encompass the entire revenue cycle and prepare hospital decision makers for the future of the entire cycle, from Registration to Payment.
Hot topics of discussion to include:
* Bundle Payment Plans: Improving Outcomes and Cost Effectiveness
* Creating Competitive Costs: Managing Your Chargemaster
* HIPAA Audit Mania: Buckle Up
* CMS Explains the ICD-10 and How Best to Prepare
* Optimize Your EHR: Best Practices
* Avoid Denials and Win Appeals
* Technology Roadmap for the Era of "Affordable Care"
* Parenting: How to Deal with the Next Generation of Healthcare; ACOs

- The 6th Annual Pharmaceutical Parallel Trade Conference
-
Feb 6, 2012 - Feb 7, 2012,
Copthorne Tara Hotel London, England United KingdomSMi is proud to present their 6th Annual Pharmaceutical Parallel Trade Conference. This year's event will bring together expert speakers from different sectors within the industry, each with differing opinions and perspectives to offer. In such a rapidly developing field of parallel trade, it is essential that companies are kept up to date with the latest developments, regulations and strategies.
With the growth of parallel trade of pharmaceuticals in the European Union increasing consistently (despite numerous challenges from some of the industry’s biggest players) this event is more relevant than ever. The principles of free movement of goods and the regional exhaustion of intellectual property rights, as well as the European Court of Justice consistently ruling in their favour on cases relating to trademark issues have led to great financial succes for parallel traders. In response, pharmaceutical companies are now looking towards new solutions and strategies to address parallel trade, leading case studies of which will be discussed and presented at the 2012 conference.
Why should you attend this event?- Hear about new techniques, strategies and developments in the field of parallel trade
- Understand the European directives and regulations
- Discuss risks that counterfeiting and repackaging in parallel trade may pose to patient safety
- Learn from multiple case studies demonstrating real life data and processes that work
- Develop strategies and techniques to limit the concerns and issues associated with parallel trade
- Network with key industry associates and solution providers to share valuable experiences
