Registration is now open for the inaugural HASC Conference on Aging, Oct. 15, at Crowne Plaza Resort in Orange County.

With a focus on health care for older adults, the conference will bring together key executives and champions of healthy aging to examine programs and strategies that promote a healthier senior population, better care coordination across the continuum, and lower health care costs.

Speakers include local and national experts guiding the development of new service delivery models producing successful outcomes and quality care to older adult patients. This year’s offerings include an array of topics with emphasis on financial support for elders, caregiver support and community resources, and innovation in clinical models for older adult care. Participants will:

• Explore how the changes in the health care industry can meet the growing needs of the older adult population
• Discover interventions for protecting older adults from financial exploitation
• Learn new strategies for delivering quality care with compassion and sensitivity for the underserved and diverse older adult population
• Improve critical pathways and consistency between hospitals and post-discharge and/or specialty care to improve hospital readmission rates

The conference is open to anyone interested in working with older adults, including chief nursing officers, service directors, nursing managers, supervisors, staff nurses, social workers, case and care managers, risk managers, clinical social workers, nursing homes, gerontologists, medical doctors, pharmacists and home care workers.
