Empowering the surgical services community

 

Perioperative leaders from throughout North America will flock to Las Vegas this summer for an exciting new conference that offers a unique blend of top-notch educational sessions and entertaining networking events.

The inaugural OR Today Live!, presented by OR Today magazine, is set for Aug. 30-Sept. 1 at the luxurious Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas. The resort is a recipient of the AAA Four Diamond Award and was named one of the world’s best new hotels by Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

OR Today Live! presents a dynamic environment for perioperative leaders to engage with industry leaders, advance their education, further develop management skills, discover the latest services and products and ultimately deliver solutions to improve their health care facility’s performance.

OR Today Live! will foster solutions for the prevailing challenges, regulations and culture changes facing the surgical suite and the professionals called on to manage the business decisions and patient care within the OR.

John Krieg, president and owner of MD Publishing, said the new OR Today Live! Surgical Conference is an exciting venture that will benefit a variety of health care professionals.

“OR Today Live! was created because of a need in the surgical services community for a smaller, more intimate conference,” Krieg explained. “Our experienced editorial board for OR Today brought to our attention that no such meeting existed.”

“What we are doing, essentially, is making the OR Today magazine live – thus the name,” Krieg added. “We are giving the attendees, our readers, an opportunity to engage with leaders at a three-day conference that is a gathering place and a community for the surgical services professional.”

Benefits of attendance include networking with professionals in the industry and the opportunity to connect with members of the surgical services community who experience the same issues creating an atmosphere of collaboration for solving problems. Another feature is the ability to build exhibitor relations with vendors who will showcase the latest technology, tools and product knowledge in the exhibit hall.

Patient safety, always a priority, will be highlighted at OR Today Live! as attendees establish new management practices ensuring each patient has a positive experience by learning new ways to reduce errors and readmissions at their health care facilities.

The OR Today Live! educational committee includes respected thought leaders representing different areas of the health care industry. Educational committee members are Sharon L. Morris, BSN, RN, CNOR, Surgical Services Staff Nurse North Valley Hospital; Deborah A. Herdman, RN, BSHA, Director, PeriOperative Services, Trinity Health System; Susan Phillips, Vice President of Surgical Services, UNC Hospitals; Ren Scott Feagle, MSN/Ed, RN, CNOR, Clinical Educator for Surgical Services, University Medical Center of Southern Nevada; and R. Clinton Crews, MPH, Director, Master of Surgical Assisting Program, Eastern Virginia Medical School.

OR Today Live! will follow a three-day format beginning with workshops and a welcome reception on Sunday, Aug. 30.

MD Publishing has more than a decade of experience with successful conferences, including the popular MD Expo. Find out more about OR Today Live! and register to attend online atORTodayLive.com.
