Collaborative

Events

National Critical Issues Forum

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN: September 15-16, 2022 | Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando ⋅ Orlando, FL

Optimizing Performance in an Age of Disruption:
The 2022 National Critical Issues Forum will examine the environment of donation and transplantation to determine where performance optimization can be found in this ever-changing health care environment. Donation and transplantation leaders continue to face both internal and external disruption at every level of operations and those that can master challenges will succeed where others will fail.

The forum will explore the regulatory shifts, economic challenges, staffing pressures, and our need to incorporate novel technical innovations into our existing practices. A principal objective of the forum is to provide participants with the necessary skills to turn challenges into opportunities and adverse or challenging environments into performance improvement endeavors. This Forum is a collaborative endeavor and will connect, by design, key stake holders and thought leaders with each collaborative participant.

Additional program details and agenda will be shared later this spring. Capacity is highly limited. Early registration is strongly recommended.
