Physician networking session: What’s an avoidable Emergency Department visit? And who can do what to avoid it? Join your fellow physicians and QIDSS for a networking debate at the AFHTO 2015 Conference that will pit attendees against two feuding teams made up of family and ED physicians. It will consider real-life ED visits that may or may not be avoidable, depending on how the feud plays out. Winners will come away with a sense of satisfaction from helping teams help their patients stay out of ED (note: everyone is a winner!). You won’t want to miss the action! All your colleagues will find sessions of interest during the IHP Networking or Leadership Sessions. The early bird takes flight Monday (Sept. 28th). Register for the AFHTO 2015 conference before prices go up!
