My Talk August 26 on Sepsis & CMS Policy; and Three Other Talks Next Week

Next week, I am giving a 45 minute presentation via the Sepsis Alliance, on the topic, "Medicare Approach to Sepsis and Quality of Care: What You Need to Know."  

The talk focuses on the SEP-1 quality measure for hospitals, but puts this in the background of its history, CMS policymaking around quality measures, and specific recent debates.   The live presentation is August 26 at 2:00 eastern.   The link is here.

Meanwhile, a the Next Gen Dx virtual summit, August 25-27, here, I am on a panel for trends in Medicare policy (LCD/NCD) on Tuesday, and a panel on new horizons in policy for liquid biopsy and preventive tests on Wednesday.  

Meanwhile, at a conference on COVID and diabetes, I am speaking on Thursday on COVID, diabetes, and Medicare policy.  Here.
