Business of Medicine Symposium Recordings | June 4, 2025

June 4, 2025 | Virtual Symposium Recordings

Bring home the insight and expertise of PALTmed’s inaugural Business of Medicine Symposium with access to the live event session recordings. PALTmed’s inaugural Business of Medicine Symposium gathers clinicians and other leaders working in the post-acute and long-term care continuum to learn and discuss how business trends are impacting their daily work, the quality of care for their patients, and the effectiveness of their teams. Using a combination of speaker presentations, panel discussions, and small group breakout sessions, participants have the opportunity to learn from experts and from their peers. 

This one-day virtual meeting addresses topics such as how nursing homes make money, strategies for using technology to ease workload burdens, the role of private equity firms, working with ACOs, and understanding the value of your practice. 

Recordings also include session Powerpoints, handouts, and the live event chat log. 

Note: Due to their interactive nature, the concurrent "Quick Hits" breakouts and the Networking Happy Hour were not recorded.
