Attend ABQAURP's 46th Annual Health Care Quality & Patient Safety Conference at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach, FL on October 19-20, 2023.

From our knowledge of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), we understand that direct medical care only influences 20% of an individual’s overall health, while 80% is influenced by factors such as access to health care, gender, culture, income, social support networks, education and employment status, physician and social environments, personal health practices and coping skills, among others. Health care providers are left with a limited window to engage, educate, and partner with patients in their health care.

Consequently, the emphasis the past few decades has been on learning more about disparities in our communities and bridging those gaps through technology, innovative and “disruptive” models of health care delivery, and service excellence. All while continuing to aim for the delivery of the highest quality, cost-effective health care possible.

Attend the conference to develop strategies to integrate technology, disruptive delivery models, and service excellence into practice to address the challenges of social determinants of health, improve the population health of communities served, and expand opportunities and patient outcomes for providers.

At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to:

• Discover trends in federal quality and safety programs in hospitals and health systems.
• Examine current and future innovations in population health.
• Recognize compliance and safety risks and develop strategies to improve and protect your practice.
• Identify the characteristics and impact of Geriatric Emergency Departments (GEDs) on hospitals.
• Analyze value-based initiatives such as team-based care, clinical decision support, and patient centered care and their impact on quality and return on investment.
• Develop a strategy to optimize workforce engagement to amplify performance.
• Describe Web3 and Metaverse technology to overcome SDoH barriers and meet the needs of underserved patients.
• Discuss updates and changes to hospital and health centers’ regulations and reimbursement models.

Schedule/topics are tentative and subject to change.
