President's Call to Action
by Deb Bakerjian PhD, APRN, FAAN, FAANP
CALTCM President
 

I am getting excited about our approaching conference - it is going to be another winner.  We have a great line up of speakers that will be addressing “Managing Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity”, “Managing Pain and Depression” and “Just Culture and Patient Safety.”

We have made several changes and additions to this year’s Annual Meeting.  We have added two Case Study sessions, a Readmission Roundtable Session, three PA/LTC Policy Updates, and the Poster Session now offers CME/CEU’s.  In addition, the Best Practices Summit has been carefully adjusted to allow attendees to attend all 5 Best Practices.  The agenda is robust and will only be topped by the great relationships that will be made while attending this event.

I hope this reminder will spur you to do three important things:

  1. Register for the CALTCM conference coming up just 30 days away - here is the link: http://www.caltcm.org/annual-meeting
  2. Join now or renew your CALTCM membership if you are not currently a member: http://www.caltcm.org/memberships
  3. Consider joining one of our great committees - we will have sign-up sheets at conference but you can also email Barbara at [email protected] as well or email me directly.

I hope to see all of you at this year's conference, the brochure is attached - don't forget to bring a friend or colleague! The CALTCM phones have been ringing off the hook, to accommodate the overwhelming demand we have extended the early bird rate thru to Monday, April 10th.
