Health Administration Research and Best Practices Symposium
The Health Administration Research and Best Practices Symposium is designed to generate and exchange relevant, valuable, and applied research initiatives and operational best practices in the area of hospital operations and administration within Nebraska. The goal of the symposium is to link research and best practices to increase impact across the state through sharing and dialogue.
This symposium will be a place for NHA members to begin conversations about the collaborative processes that research generates and to have a meaningful exchange of best practices, research, and innovation. Accepted abstracts will be displayed at the Fall 2024 NHA Convention during a poster session. A stipend will be awarded to the top three submissions.
The Research and Best Practices Symposium is a collaborative effort through the Nebraska Hospital Association, UNMC’s Center for Health Policy and UNMC’s College of Public Health and various sponsors.
