Mary provides attendees with actionable insights they can apply immediately to be more successful in their leadership roles.

Rebuilding Your Team – Heather Lambert, Senior Manager, Learning & Development

As we move out of the pandemic, the impact of the past 2 years remains.  Our families faced enormous challenges, our healthcare structure was overburdened, our teams were compromised, and our surgery centers must deal with the fallout. The outcome is a new employee-driven playbook that puts the mental well-being, psychological safety, and emotional needs of our ASC teams first.  The way we supported individuals prior to the COVID-19 pandemic will not sustain teams as we move from this crisis to the next.  Rebuilding your ASC team to reflect the new reality is essential for patient care, staff retention, and individual wellness.  Join this session to look at the impact of the pressure performance curve, new realities for healthcare employers, and what your leadership needs to do in response.

Our conference will continue with other key topics including, Legislative, Regulatory and Accreditation Updates. In addition, there will be smaller breakout sessions diving deeper into the subjects of Finance, Human Resources, Clinical and Quality oversight.  Check out the full program here.

The CASA staff, Board and Conference Committee can’t wait to see you face to face again in Indian Wells at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa. For further information including registration and hotel reservations check out the CASA Conference website.
