What is the Clinical Excellence Conference?

The California Primary Care Association (CPCA) and Western Clinicians Network (WCN) have partnered to host the Region IX Clinical Excellence Conference.  This three-day conference brings together healthcare staff from frontline workers to senior leadership from across the region to focus on health center clinical and management teams --partnerships that spur innovation-- with the goal of improving overall efficiency and effectiveness in care delivery. 

Why your care team should attend

Leadership is at its best when teams works together, and all clinical staff play an essential role when it comes to patient quality, safety, and costs. Elevating staff to perform at the top of their license, encouraging administrative staff to understand processes and quality, and strengthening clinical staff’s understanding of business aspects benefits all.

​Clinical excellence requires a good grounding in both clinical and administration skills. To be able to work together and collaborate, health center teams across all levels of the organization need to come together to understand essential processes, strategy, and goals.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND

​All levels of health center staff will benefit from this leadership-focused conference!

​Front-line office staff, Clinicians, Chief Medical Officers, Medical Directors, Human Resources, Dental Directors, Executive Directors, State and Regional Primary Care partners, Board Members and other management positions within a community or migrant health center.
Region IX members (Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawai'i, and the Pacific Islands) will be in attendance, but this clinical conference welcomes attendees from across the country!
