Enactment of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is transforming just about every aspect of healthcare delivery in order to achieve the Triple Aim goals of better care, healthier people and communities and affordable care.  One of the law’s most striking and fundamental change is the shift in reimbursement practices – moving from volume to value.

What's Pecha Kucha?  It's an informal, energetic, creative, short format presentation, and it's what attendees to our New York Healthcare Facility Networking & Design event will experience. A short panel discussion will follow the  "Innovations in Healthcare Design" Pecha Kuchas, (worth one EDAC/AIA credit), and we'll wrap up the evening with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park.

Come meet and  connect with CHD Affiliate members and the regional healthcare design community and watch a Pecha Kucha!
