SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cancer
Treatment Centers of America@ (CTCA) Medicine and Science President
and CEO, Edgar Staren, MD, PhD, MBA, will present at the American
Healthcare College of Executive's Congress on Healthcare Leadership in
Chicago, March 24 - 27, 2014. Dr. Staren will give a presentation
titled "Creating a Patient Centered Environment in Consideration of
Today's Healthcare Dynamics."
Known for its patient-focused care model, Dr. Staren will outline the
CTCA@ evolution from being patient centric to becoming a healthcare
system that fully empowers each and every patient. At CTCA, patients
are not only thoroughly informed about every facet of their disease
and potential treatment options, they are also actively encouraged to
express what they value as a component of their care. In his
presentation, Dr. Staren shares observations regarding the impact that
informed and empowered patients have on overall treatment results.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase a major differentiator of
CTCA," said Staren. "CTCA does many great things, but patient
empowered care is one area in which we are clearly leaders. By
sharing our care model and the core values that govern our approach to
treatment, we hope to offer fellow healthcare leaders an opportunity
to learn about an approach that may help them and their institutions
better serve their patients."
The Congress on Healthcare Leadership is a four-day event that brings
nearly 4,000 healthcare leaders together in a forum that offers
