CEO Forum 2012
15-Feb-2012 - 15-Feb-2012
DRIVING INNOVATION: REINVENTING AMBULATORY AND COMMUNITY CARELocation: Montreal, Quebec
The title for the 2012 CEO Forum is Driving Innovation: Reinventing ambulatory and community care, an event that will provide healthcare CEOs, policy-makers and experts from across Canada the opportunity to share strategies aimed at improving coordination along the continuum of care.
Canada’s healthcare systems face mounting pressures as populations increase and age, and the prevalence of chronic illness continues to rise. Citizens, healthcare providers and researchers are calling for the reinvention of ambulatory care services, including the expansion of community care, in order to redirect patients with complex needs away from overcrowded hospitals and toward more appropriate and cost-effective services. In short, they want the right care in the right place. Better coordination along the continuum of care promises to significantly improve the health outcomes of these patients, as well as reduce the high cost associated with their care.
Every year, the CEO Forum assembles the best evidence on key health policy issues and offers a rare opportunity for healthcare leaders from across Canada to connect with their peers and other key players in Canadian health services. The sixth annual CEO Forum will focus on strategies, levers, and incentives to:
Promote innovation to improve ambulatory and community care for patients with complex, chronic conditions; Examine alternate models of care to avoid unnecessary hospitalization; Explore and share strategies for improving coordination and accountability among caregivers along the continuum of care; and Identify optimal practices to improve the management of chronic care conditions in the community setting.
