NEW ORLEANS – The Annual Fall Conference for the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA) will take place Thursday, September 24 – Saturday, September 26, 2015, at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, 500 Canal St.
Organizers say as an important link between the emergency room and primary care, urgent care helps meet the daily healthcare needs of an increasing number of patients.
The Fall Conference draws physicians, advanced practice clinicians, urgent care center operators, business professionals, UCAOA leadership and industry representatives from an array of urgent care centers and businesses around the country.
The conference will highlight the growth of value-based care and the evolution of the urgent care industry, and will offer interview opportunities to:
• Speak with association leaders regarding the current healthcare landscape
• Speak with urgent care doctors about current illnesses and injuries being seen in urgent care centers, including head lice, sports-related injuries and fall allergies
• Discuss the growth of value-based care and the evolution of the urgent care industry into a key component of hospital/ health system ambulatory care strategies with UCAOA president-elect Steve Sellars, who serves as CEO of Premier Health, which owns and operates a number of urgent care centers throughout Louisiana.
The UCAOA seeks to advance and distinguish the role of urgent care medicine as a healthcare destination and support the ongoing success of its membership through education, advocacy, community awareness, benchmarking and promoting standards of excellence.
