The HealthTrust University Conference (HTU) returns to Nashville, Tennessee, July 23-25, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. A record number of GPO members, clients, suppliers, physician advisors, advisory board members and staff are expected to attend the annual conference, which will feature education and information sessions, two general sessions, networking events, and a two-day best-in-class Vendor Fair.
Sessions at HTU18 – whose theme is “Amplify Your Influence” – will spotlight how HealthTrust members, using evidence and operator insight, are exerting influence on the practice habits of hospitals and physicians to reduce variation and optimize clinical outcomes. Supply chain and clinical experts are expected to emphasize the unique methods, guidance and resources HealthTrust brings to members and clients to help them navigate the journey to clinical integration.
As in past years, HTU will recognize outstanding members for excellence in five categories. CEO Ed Jones will honor the recipients of the 2018 Member Recognition Awards, announce the winner of the HealthTrust Innovation Grant, and name the Supplier of the Year.
