This free conference featuring 40 nationally recognized experts will examine the evidence of “what works and why it works” in American health care. Certain systems produce better outcomes than others, but attention seldom focuses on what elements within these health care systems produce positive change.
The conference’s examination of “systemness” will include:
- What is “systemness?”
- Which elements within mature health care systems result in the best clinical outcomes?
- Are approaches taken by long-established health care systems transferable to smaller, newer, or less integrated systems?
- Are financial incentives alone enough to drive change?
- How can EHRs help improve “systemness?”
- Do “transformation” units within health systems produce results?
This conference will be an important step towards encouraging healthcare systems to evaluate what is working for them and what is working for others by examining the evidence.
There is no fee to attend the program, but space is limited and advance registration is required.
