The deadline to submit nominations to participate in APTA's Innovation Summit 2013: Collaborative Care Models is October 22.

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 the March 7-8, 2013, onsite meeting in Alexandria, Virginia. 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. 

Members involved in innovative models of care or payment may want to contact their chapter or section directly to ask to be nominated to attend the Summit. 

Information and nomination materials are available at this link. Components may direct questions about the nomination process to innovationsummit2013@apta.org.
