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.
