The FOCUS conference brings together provider associations, health care providers, and Division of Quality Assurance staff annually to help provide better care and service for Wisconsin elders and those with disabilities. FOCUS, which stands for Forging Our Commitment to Ultimate Service, is a unique opportunity to teach, learn, and collaborate. The FOCUS conference addresses a wide variety of healthcare-related topics. For the past several years, one of the days of the conference has been dedicated to current and emerging topics and is referred to as the special session. This year’s special session will focus on the caregiver shortage and associated challenges that come with it.
The conference serves:

The conference is intended to be applicable to administrators, architects, case/discharge managers, caregivers, dietitians/dietetic technicians, engineers, medical directors, nurses, pharmacists, quality improvement managers, risk managers, social workers, therapists.
