Hospice Web Conferences for 2008

The premier hospice educational programming for over ten years! This year, we are expanding our unique concept of peer-based facilitated learning with even more topical and thought provoking sessions for covering senior management topics and strategic data and improvement issues.

The Management Series
The Management Series is a monthly seminar that encompasses the high-level issues most relevant to executive and senior managers. The sessions showcase best practice ideas and new ways of dealing with agency performance.

These web conferences are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 PM Eastern.

The Data Strategies Series
The Data Strategies Series is an interactive monthly seminar focusing on how to better imbue the use of data into every aspect of daily analysis and agency management. This series was developed for those managers charged with building and understanding performance measurement and managing improvement programs.

These web conferences are held on the third Wednesday of every month at 1:00 PM Eastern.

The enrollment fee is $150 per line, per call. These series are complimentary for OCS Hospice PeerForum members. For more information or to enroll for a call, contact OCS at 206.325.3396 or info@ocsys.com.
