The Joint Commission and Joint Commission Resources are now accepting proposals for presentations for the 2009 Annual Emergency Preparedness Conference. JCR is a not-for-profit affiliate of The Joint Commission.

Presentations at the April 2009 conference, in Washington, D.C., should focus on practitioner-based, change-focused practices. The focus of the presentation should include new processes, technologies, techniques and/or tools, and creative and innovative ideas used for emergency preparedness. The presentation should demonstrate a successful approach to at least one of the four phases of emergency preparedness (mitigation, preparation, response and recovery), and relate to the Joint Commission's standards.

Presentation proposals must be submitted via an online registration form available at http://www.jcrinc.com/29669/. Additional information about the proposal guidelines can be found at http://www.jcrinc.com/29666/. The deadline for submission is July 31, 2008. Questions may be e-mailed to eprep2009@jcrinc.com.
