Prepare Today for Tomorrow's Capacity Management Challenges

HCMC hosts the only symposia dedicated to advancing the field of hospital capacity management. 

The HCMC Symposium is your space to connect and collaborate with health care leaders, capacity management professionals and clinical contributors in strengthening continuity of health care operations.

Forward-thinking leadership and preparation are essential in uncertain times. Explore how other organizations are planning for digital disruptions, fluctuations in funding and equipping their organizations with the critical infrastructure to respond to unknown future emergencies.

Hospital capacity management leaders will share best practices, build cutting-edge strategies and drive the field forward to guarantee more reliable and efficient care. Participants will learn how leading organizations align staffing and physical infrastructure to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.

Join us to ensure your hospital is properly staffed, budgeted and prepared for what’s next.
