ACHM 2010

We're packing for the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine's annual symposium this weekend in Milwaukee and wanted to mention some of the program highlights we're looking forward to soaking up. The theme for this year's symposium is New Horizons in Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Care and the program features presentations on advances in clinical practice and best practices in treatment center management.

• Given that the economic model for healthcare reimbursement sometimes resembles the work of M. C.  Escher, we're eager to hear what the experts have to say about cost containment and managing the complexities of reimbursement.
• As technology people, we're also interested in learning what others have discovered about advances that will shape the understanding of the patient population and improve their treatment.
• The tour of the state-of-the-art facility at St. Luke's Medical Center will be fascinating, as well as a welcome relief from sitting on banquet chairs.

If you are attending the symposium we'd be delighted to make your acquaintance and tell you more about what we're doing to improve the accessibility of information about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and treatment centers that provide us. We'll be in the exhibit hall.
