HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT MANAGERS - PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PEER SUPPORT


HMC Knowledge Communities

Hospital managers work in virtual communities to share strategies & insights, generate questions and build knowledge through facilitated networking. A primary forum of the Knowledge Community is the HMC iConference.

HMC iConferences

HMC iConferencesTM offer hospital department managers support in dealing with budget cuts, benchmark targets, and many other operations improvement challanges. Hospital department managers from across the country come together to develop and share innovative ideas and strategies to solve common dilemmas. iConferences include:
  • pre-call surveys
  • Webcasts
  • conference calls
  • call abstracts written by HMC Knowledge Managers who facilitate iConference interactions
  • follow-up calls and surveys to promote on-going discussions
  • success stories
