2011 Annual Meeting Brochure
2012 Annual Meeting in Tampa, FL, April 29-May 2
Pre-Meeting Workshop: MTM Boot Camp The Business of Patient Care: Incorporating Comprehensive Medication Management (MTM) into your Practice
Where do you “fit” in the new health care system as a neuropsychiatric pharmacist? This day-long workshop will begin with an update on the health care system. The emphasis will be on the role of the pharmacist in the new organizational structures of the medical home and accountable care organizations.
The program will then demonstrate what payers want from pharmacists who wish to provide medication management services. Keys to defining your service, recruiting patients, demonstrating your value, charging for your services and expanding your service will all be demonstrated.
This workshop will provide critical information to pharmacists in all practice settings. You will get important questions answered and understand what changes are needed to achieve and maintain a successful practice. You will also have the opportunity to learn from individuals in the private sector who have experience in delivering medication management services. Join us with the goal of making your service even more successful in 2012.
Lodging and Travel for 2011 Annual Meeting
Phoenix
America’s fifth-largest city still has real cowboys and rugged mountains and the kind of cactus most people see only in cartoons. Phoenix is the gateway to the Grand Canyon and its history is a testament to the spirit of puebloans, ranchers, miners and visionaries. Phoenix offers the convenience of hundreds of daily flights into and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International airport (6 miles from the host hotel) and the natural beauty of the Southwest, an outdoor lover's dream made real.
The AAA Four Diamond Arizona Grand Resort is the leading Arizona family vacation getaway and Southwest meetings destination. The resort and conference center offer spacious suite accommodations, an 18-hole golf course, athletic club, spa, salon, an award winning 7-acre water park, and seven unique dining venues. The spacious and comfortable sleeping rooms and meeting space set the stage for a relaxing environment allowing you to soak in all of the knowledge and information shared during productive work days. Coupled with a warm climate and the beautiful backdrop of South Mountain Preserve (the largest municipal park in the world and the second most visited tourist attraction in the state), this is a meeting you won't want to miss.
