Our attendees have varying levels of experience in long term care, from significant to limited experience, and cover all staff, clinical, operations, and administrative roles. Submission Review and SelectionOHCA offers energetic and well-balanced educational programming to appeal to a diverse audience at all OHCA events. OHCA encourages proposals from a variety of individuals and organizations representing different points of view on timely subject matter. Presentations/presenters will be selected based upon the following criteria: Quality, timeliness and value of content Relevance to the needs of long-term care and community-based care professionals Presenters familiar with and experienced in long-term care and community-based care Cost; in an effort to keep registration fees at a minimum for our attendees, OHCA operates on a limited education budget.
