This June we celebrate 25 years of care outcomes assessment. Hard to believe that our Cardiac COAP started in the ‘90s – and has since grown into obstetrical care, general surgery, and spine surgery. These four have proven to be valuable parts of our health care ecosystem, allowing the type of physician-driven health care improvement needed to drive improvement.

We are holding our Cardiac COAP annual meeting on Wednesday, June 7^th from 8:30 – 4:00pm in-person at the SeaTac airport conference center. Please join physicians, nurses, quality improvement specialists and healthcare leaders from across our region, and beyond, for a day of shared learning, data review, best practice sharing, and planning for the future. Discuss challenges with your peers, exchange ideas, and find support as we frame our day looking at the past, our present work, and have an eye to the future. Our keynote will be Dr. Hitinder Gurm, Cardiologist and Director of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Cardiovascular Consortium in Michigan. CNEs and CMEs available.
