ACMA to Host Three-Part Webinar Series Featuring IHI Expert Faculty Member
Beginning March 14, ACMA will host a three-part webinar series titled "Refining Hospital Patient Flow." In this in-depth series, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) expert faculty member Deborah Kaczynski, MS, will introduce participants to the tools and strategies that are part of the Real-Time Demand Capacity process (RTDC). RTDC is a practical and effective method for improving flow, developed during IHI's Hospital-Wide Patient Flow Collaborative and piloted at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center under Ms. Kaczynski's guidance.
The series is complimentary for all paid attendees of the 2012 Leadership Conference in Austin, Texas. The sessions are available to all others at $199 for the three-part series.
