This year’s theme is about branding excellence for healthcare environmental services, housekeeping professionals and other healthcare support services disciplines and focuses on the Institute for Medicine’s Six Aims for Improvement: Equity, Timeliness, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Patient Centeredness and Patient Safety. Attendance this year is especially important. Keeping in step with the AHA’s Health for Life and Pursuit of Excellence, we have designed a program for professionals with multiple departmental responsibilities who are looking to demonstrate to administration how your services are delivered with the Six Aims as drivers! Collaborate with other key healthcare colleagues whose organizations are co-locating their meetings with ASHES: The Veteran’s Administration (VA) Environmental Management Service, US Army Medical Command Environmental Management (MEDCOM), Sodexo Healthcare Environmental Services, the National Association for Healthcare Transport Management (NAHTM) among others.
