Defining Priorities for Your Organization - Morning Presentation

Learn what your peers have identified as the 10 most important healthcare facility needs to address in previous research. A patented process for reaching this consensus will be shared and you will have an opportunity to assess your own organization's needs and be able to compare your individual results with your peers and a benchmark of other healthcare organizations.
