"IQPC’s HR Excellence for Healthcare Conference will showcase the latest opportunities in healthcare HR and include presenters from top notch medical institutes across the country. This premiere event will take place on March 22-24 in Chicago, IL.
“The healthcare HR world is undergoing monumental changes right now including policy reform and looming baby boomer retirement,” said Jessica Druckman, Team Leader and Conference Producer at IQPC. “Also, social media has changed the healthcare HR game and become an essential tool for branding, engagement and patient satisfaction.”
IQPC recently spoke with Cindy Carson and Dona Marie Wilfong of the “STAR” Program at West Penn Allegheny Health Systems about their newest innovation of simulation-based training to improve talent development and quality of care in their hospital systems. This is just one of the technology breakthroughs that will be presented at the conference and is sure to have a major impact on the HR healthcare industry. You can listen to the complete interview here.
The HR Excellence for Healthcare conference will present case studies, hard facts and winning strategies on creating a healthcare vision, using social media tools, retaining and developing talent, and more.
