Hospital in the Home: Growing Your HITH Service
Event Information
About this event
Do you want to grow your Hospital in the Home service?
With increasing activity and a finite physical bed base, alongside a strong financial argument and consumer demand, growing a HITH service is on every hospital’s strategic plan. So how do you do it?
The Health Roundtable HITH Workshop will feature data presentations using HITH and financial data, innovation sharing by members, problem solving and action planning, alongside networking and collaboration, to help you grow your HITH service.
This workshop is conveniently adjacent to the HITH Society of Australasia’s 14th Annual Scientific Meeting on the 17th & 18th November at the Twin Towns Convention Centre, Tweed Heads.
Through the collaboration between The Society and Health Roundtable, members of both organisations are encouraged to attend all 3 days.
