Workshops are a tradition of the PCSI conferences, and a direct means of fulfilling PCSI’s objective to share knowledge about casemix throughout the world.
The workshops offer an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of casemix and discuss topical issues with like-minded colleagues. And there is something for everyone, whether you’re new to casemix or have many years of experience, and no matter your role (coder, analyst, clinician, policy maker, accountant…).
This year we have 7 workshops to choose from. Note that workshops 1 to 3 will be held concurrently in the first half of Tuesday 27th October, and workshops 4 to 7 will be held concurrently in the second half of the same day. Therefore, you will only be able to attend one morning and one afternoon workshop.

-

-
