At the 2014 Annual Conference, AMGA is offering you four exceptional pre-conference immersion sessions on Thursday, April 3. These workshops are designed to facilitate understanding of complex areas related to medical group operations and to provide you with more value for your education dollar and time out of the office.

 Additional details regarding these agendas will be available shortly. 
 
Collaborative for Clinical Integration and Value

AMGA created the Collaborative for Clinical Integration and Value to continue the work of ICQV and designed this half day immersion session for attendees who wish to gain a better understanding of clinical integration. This program will feature case studies and a moderated, interactive discussion of current topics in clinical integration.  

Compensation Boot Camp

Successful transformation from fee-for-service to value-based/ risk payment arrangements requires rethinking physician compensation structures, no matter the ownership status of your organization. Changing the compensation structure for your group gives rise to numerous other elements and considerations, including culture, philosophy, strategic initiatives, metrics, production/bonus allocations, change process, and alignment. This session will bring together compensation experts from AMGA medical groups that are leading this this shift to value-based payment.

Exploring High-Performing Health Systems
 Institute for Quality Leadership Semi-Annual Meeting

The Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) is devoted to improving the quality of care delivered in the U.S. healthcare system through the advancement of knowledge and the education of healthcare professionals. Its programs are designed to help healthcare organizations improve clinical quality, patient safety, service, and operational efficiency, and to share best practices in patient care.   In this special half day session, AMGA has invited 2 of the 2013 Acclaim Honorees and a high performing AMGA member organization to describe their individual journeys to becoming a high performing health system.  Featured organizations include:  Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group, Wilmington Health, PLLC, and Summit Medical Group (NJ).

Physician Engagement:  Leadership Lessons from the Navy

Collaboration, commitment and cohesion, rapid and continual innovation, engaging the workforce of the future, and dealing with the generational differences in that workforce―these are the crucial issues that successful leaders will need to master in order to take their organizations to the next level. They're the same issues that Mike Abrashoff faced when he took command of USS Benfold, one of the worst performing ships in the Pacific fleet. He will share the leadership principles which helped transform the ship moving it from worst to first in the fleet and applies it to the fast paced healthcare world today. This half-day workshop will inspire you and your team to create a high-performance culture where everyone takes ownership and responsibility.
