National magazine publisher in Scottsdale, Ariz., sponsors Kidney Disease Economics Conference, February 4–6, 2005, at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort, Phoenix, Ariz.

(PRWEB) August 9, 2004

Nephrology News & Issues, a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary magazine published monthly in Scottsdale, Ariz., is sponsoring the Kidney Disease Economics Conference for renal care doctors, nurses, administrators, social workers, dietitians, technicians, patients, government policymakers, and private insurers from all over the United States. The KDEC is the first-ever conference to bring such diverse groups together to address the economic issues of renal patient care. Attendees will meet February 4–6, 2005, at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort, Phoenix, Ariz.

"The KDEC is intended for those patients and caregivers with a passion for quality and a vision of how care can and will be delivered in the future. The program for the conference illustrates the ambitious expectations of the conference to identify and promote ‘ideal’ not ‘adequate’ patient care," said Lawrence R. Coutts, publisher of Nephrology News & Issues.

Ideas and approaches will be presented in a more casual environment to enhance discussion. There will be general sessions for all attendees, and breakout sessions for specific patient and caregiving disciplines. The breakout sessions are intended to be working sessions and results will be brought back to the general session for discussion, debate, and developing a general consensus.
