PT Innovators: Contact Your Chapter or Section for Nomination to Summit
Are you
involved in an innovative model of care delivery such as an accountable care
organization or pay for performance? If
so, contact your chapter or section and ask your leadership to nominate you to
attend APTA's Innovation Summit: 2013:
Collaborative Care Models.
The Summit
will bring together innovators and thought leaders from physical therapy,
health policy, payment, and other health professions to explore the role of
physical therapists in new models of health care delivery and payment.
Participation in the summit will be available to all members through live web
streaming. Attendance onsite will be limited to speakers, panelists, and
invited attendees, including the member innovators selected through this
nomination process.
APTA
sections, chapters, and the Student Assembly are each invited to nominate a
member who is involved in an innovative model of care to attend and participate
in the Summit, to be held March 7-8, 2013, in the Washington, DC area. A panel
of member experts will select 20 member innovators to share their innovative
practice models as a part of the Summit. Those selected will receive free
registration and a stipend for travel and lodging expenses. Chapters and
sections whose nominees are selected will receive special recognition during
the Summit.
The
deadline for nominations is Monday, October 22. More information about the
Summit is available at www.apta.org/innovationsummit. Components can direct questions
about the nomination process to innovationsummit2013@apta.org.
