Seminar: “Chicken Little Was an Optimist; Marketing After Health Reform”
Health reform (Affordable Care Acts – ACA) will have significant impacts on virtually every
sector in health care. Outside hospitals, among providers such as SNFs, IRFs, LTACHs, HHAs
and pharmacy most changes will be indirect, yet significant. Moreover, details of the ACA are
still pending, leaving many of us guessing about the final shape of the implementation. What
can we do to prepare? Will ACA impact on how we secure leads? This program will focus on
how to position your services as winner in the post reform marketplace.
