ACCC Meetings: 3rd Annual Hospital Summit

"Educate your CEO about the overwhelming number of outpatient revenue opportunities within the cancer service line. And learn what kinds of information and benchmarking you should bring to the table to help influence overall strategic decisions."
Presenter Catherine Harvey, RN, DrPH, OCN

ACCC‘s highly successful Hospital Summits feature hands-on, small group presentations to help cancer program administrators, vice presidents of oncology services, and cancer service line leaders. This year's one-day program was designed to help oncology professionals assess the health of their oncology service line, build financial stability, and chart their future with senior leaders in the oncology field. The meeting site was conveniently located just outside of Washington, D.C.

ACCC Executive Director Christian Downs, JD, MHA, welcomed attendees to ACCC’s 3rd Annual Hospital Summit, held December 13, 2007, in Vienna, Virginia. This year’s popular summit meeting offered hospital cancer program administrators, vice presidents of oncology services, and cancer service line leaders, a full day information on assessing the health of the oncology service line, building financial stability, and planning for the future from thought leaders in the oncology field.
