Dräger Supports 18th Annual Health Forum and the American Hospital Association Leadership Summit

The Summit comes at a critical time as the industry faces unprecedented challenges in light of healthcare reform. The upcoming Summit will focus on the most effective and efficient approaches for hospitals and health systems to integrate care and to improve financial and clinical performance along the continuum of care. Industry leaders will address the critical issues of improved care coordination and will discuss strategies for delivering greater value while managing greater risk and accountability. Also on the agenda are presentations on new approaches to partnering and the impact of emerging technologies on patient care and business practices.

“Our participation in the Leadership Summit and the AHA Annual Meeting earlier this year in April provides Dräger with the opportunity to learn first-hand from healthcare’s top executives about their concepts and proposed solutions to advance health care operations and patient care at local and national levels,” said Arno Wolters, President and CEO, Draeger Medical, Inc. “This deeper understanding enables Dräger to develop solutions that best support our customers’ needs in this evolving healthcare environment.”

Working together with organizations like the AHA and Heath Forum, Dräger is demonstrating our commitment to support hospitals and healthcare systems to provide the highest level quality of care most effectively and efficiently today and into the future.
