National Conference “Promoting Excellence in Geriatric Home Care” July 9th, 2008

One hundred people representing leaders in home care and experts in geriatrics and related fields attended the first national conference devoted to promoting quality improvement in geriatric home health care. The conference was a working meeting at which participants discussed potential strategies for quality improvement related to recommendations developed by the project’s National Advisory Council.

“One of the top three professional meeting experiences of my home care career.”

“I will share the high energy and motivation I experienced working with colleagues across the nation.”

“What a wonderful worthwhile conference to be a part of! It will be unforgettable for me; instilled hope for the future and potential for integration and collaboration.”

The slides from the plenary presentations can be downloaded here, or by clicking on "presentations" from the main left hand navigation.

A meeting summary and other project materials will be posted soon. Please check back.
