Moving Forward in a Post-Reform World
When the health reform bill was signed into law in March, work on reinventing the delivery of health care in the U.S. did not end. Far from it. Reforms are big and comprehensive, affecting nearly all parts of the health system including new coverage, new funding, and new regulators. Most experts say the real work — writing rules and regulations to implement the law — is just a beginning as provisions of the law will be phased in incrementally over the next decade.
TMA's 2010 Fall Conference features thought leaders who will provide insight into the mega trends that physicians will face as a result of health reform. They'll also offer recommendations on how physicians can prepare for upcoming challenges, take advantage of new opportunities, and avoid mistakes from the past. Join your colleagues from across the state as we move forward in this post-reform world. View the 2010 TMA Fall Conference Registration Brochure or register online.
