Provider Educational Needs Assessment:  We have planned this activity to enhance the ways in which health care providers identify, manage and approach processes they have worked with for many years. The main goal of this conference is for providers to take on a leadership role of improving patient safety, care and outcomes by focusing on patient and family centered care through the construct of all they do.

Educational Learning Objectives:
Following this conference, attendees will be able to:

1. Improve and provide leadership for how patients, families, and providers interact with each other in managing chronic diseases.
2. Recognize how the Medical Home will facilitate the interactions described in #1.

5. Improve quality of care for patients returning to their primary care provider following trauma or multi system disease care from a tertiary care center.
