Industry’s Foremost Patient Flow Software Developer to Hold Next Flagship Conference, Oct. 12-14, at JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa in Summerlin, Nev.
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Central Logic, the healthcare industry’s leading provider of innovative patient flow software and consultative expertise, today announced that the fall edition of its flagship industry conference, Patient Flow Summit 2011, will take place October 12-14, 2011, at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa in Summerlin, Nev., located just outside of Las Vegas.
The announcement follows the company’s successful orchestration of its spring Patient Flow Summit, held last month at the Nashville Marriott Hotel at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. The move to Las Vegas provides attendees with more recreational, social, and relaxation opportunities at one of the area’s premier luxury resorts, and seeks to attract more patient flow, bed management, information technology (IT), and financial executives from leading hospitals and healthcare systems throughout the country.
Now in its third year, Central Logic’s Patient Flow Summit is the healthcare sector’s only national forum that addresses the myriad financial, operational, and technological issues surrounding the design and management of patient flow processes, which include the transport, admission, transfer, and discharge of patients in diverse medical environments. The company’s signature showcase features presentations by prominent, senior-level hospital executives and administrators overseeing patient movements in their respective organizations. Attendees also include transfer center directors, patient placement managers, discharge planning supervisors, emergency department directors, chief medical officers, chief nursing officers, physician leaders, and finance and IT directors.
“The Las Vegas Patient Flow Summit 2011 will delve further into many of the patient flow management issues and challenges addressed at our Nashville symposium, but deliver even greater focus on how to integrate and optimize best practices in hospitals and healthcare systems for maximum financial and operational benefits,” said Darin Vercillo, MD, co-founder and chief executive officer of Central Logic, and a practicing hospitalist. “In addition, at the request of past attendees, we will also offer more informative breakout sessions with hospital administrators and industry experts, and provide optional product training labs on the summit’s first day for those interested in extracting more value from Central Logic’s patient flow and bed management solutions.”
