What is this conference?
Why the 2010 Annual Conference?
It is difficult for health care facility management professionals to find meaningful training that focuses on the issues unique to the health care physical environment. Over the years, I have found that ASHE conferences deliver the best value in professional development. The educational value of the ASHE Annual Conferences that I have attended has been consistent and cost-beneficial.
In addition to its content, the conference provides ongoing opportunities to discuss emerging issues and best practices with colleagues, vendors, and consultants across a broad continuum of health care issues. For example, in a single venue, you can discover best practices from leading health care institutions, investigate new ways to look at old problems, hear experts address codes and standards, and talk one-on-one with experienced vendors. Past attendees have told their colleagues that the value of the networking opportunities alone exceeds the price of admission.
What did I learn?
I will provide a brief set of details for each of the sessions I attended over the three days of this year’s conference. In addition, I will share the conference proceedings with my colleagues, including presentations to work groups within {your facility name here}.
The goals that I set before attending the 2010 Annual were as follows:

My participation met all of these goals and also gave me the opportunity to discuss health care facility concerns, issues, and best practices with my peers and colleagues.
