Medtrade Spring Touts New Exhibitors, New Products and New Technology
If you haven't already signed up for the Las Vegas Medtrade Spring show April 24-26, consider the benefits.
More than 470 exhibitors — of which 122 are participating for the first time — will be on hand to show off the latest technology and new products available to home care providers.
"The increased number of exhibitors, particularly those who are exhibiting for the first time, demonstrates innovation is on an upward spiral in the home health care industry," says Elizabeth Sommerville, group show director.
But products aren't the only stars of the show. This year's show ramps up educational opportunities with seminars that focus on business solutions to improve efficiencies in today's turbulent reimbursement environment.
The lineup of educationa conferences includes topics such as accreditation, business operations, home health/clinical, information technology, legislative and regulatory issues, mergers and acquisitions, oxygen and respiratory, rehabilitation and assistive technology, reimbursement, sales and marketing, and sleep-disordered breathing.
In addition to the Medtrade conference program, this year's program will once again offer two pre-show conferences on Tuesday, April 24. The Continuum of Care and the Medtrade Reimbursement conferences will take place from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
