ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The objective of the symposium is to bring together professionals and other stakeholders in both the scientific and practice realms of the health-care community and to bridge knowledge gaps among them. HF/E professionals will present the latest research, best practices, and case histories.

Unique to this symposium is the inclusion of manufacturers, health-care providers (physicians, nurses, administrators, etc.), and policy makers, who will discuss their experiences in using HF/E processes and principles. The symposium will also enable them to communicate their need for additional collaboration with the HF/E community.
