Quality Forum 2007
Redesigning Systems...Getting to the Heart of Patient-Centered Care
October 9 & 10, 2007
Holiday Inn, Fargo


North Dakota Health Care Review, Inc., invites you to attend our 7th Annual Quality Forum on October 9-10, 2007, at the Holiday Inn in Fargo, ND. This year's theme is "Redesigning Systems...Getting to the Heart of Patient-centered Care." The health care system we have has many components, each with its own mission and purpose. Our challenge is to redesign the system, connecting all aspects of care around one common purpose--to meet the needs of our patients.

Please join the many health care professionals from North Dakota's hospitals, clinic's nursing homes, home health agencies, and other settings as we learn from the featured presenters and from each other. These sessions are sure to motivate, inform, and challenge.
