Hundreds of hospital executives and professionals will attend DNV's 2021 Healthcare Symposium as it returns with an in-person option.
The Symposium will be held at the Silver Legacy Resort in Reno, NV, Nov. 1-4. Symposium attendees also have the choice of attending all events virtually.
Hospital executives and staff will provide more than 50 presentations discussing how their institutions have made significant strides in quality of care, patient outcomes and operations. Virtually all of these healthcare institutions are accredited by DNV to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The DNV accreditation model is based on the ISO 9001 quality management system.

How hospitals responded to the COVID-19 pandemic will also be explored in depth at the Symposium. Among the COVID-19 related speeches and panels:
"The years 2020 and 2021 will likely go down as among the most challenging ever for hospitals. While the past 18 months have been brutal for hospital employees and managers, it has also led to innumerable learning experiences," said Patrick Horine, president of DNV Healthcare USA Inc. "The knowledge accumulated by the nation's acute care facilities during this time will no doubt advance patient care in the future. The Symposium is a perfect vehicle for sharing and utilizing this knowledge."

"We want to identify innovative practices and approaches to address aspects that improve quality, efficiency and enhance patient care," says David Tellez, DNV's leader of supply chain and product assurance in the Americas. "Our success is attributable to the unique approach we take with our hospital customers to use the quality management system to their advantage."
