SUMMARY:International Council on Active Aging Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Many journeys\, many destinations\nFor adults ages 50 and older\, wellness is a way of living well. An enriched lifestyle provides opportunities for people to learn\, to grow and to engage as fully as possible in all of life’s dimensions. For organizations and professionals that serve older adults\, wellness can be a philosophy\, a culture\, a business model\, and a way to organize programs and facilities to support active aging. \nBecause it encompasses so much\, wellness has many journeys\, many destinations. Goals\, paths and preferences differ depending on the individual and the organization; so\, too\, do needs and interests. The International Council on Active Aging delivers a unique educational and networking event designed to meet both. \nEstablished in 2001\, ICAA leads\, defines and connects the active-aging industry. Seminars and workshops at the annual ICAA Conference address the many dimensions\, roles and needs in the industry. \nSee the website for a schedule\, registration and more information.

SUMMARY:ECRI Institute’s 19th Annual Conference on the Use of Evidence in Policy and Practice
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe conference’s examination of “systemness” will include:\n\nWhat is “systemness?”\nWhich elements within mature health care systems result in the best clinical outcomes?\nAre approaches taken by long-established health care systems transferable to smaller\, newer\, or less integrated systems?\nAre financial incentives alone enough to drive change?\nHow can EHRs help improve “systemness?”\nDo “transformation” units within health systems produce results?\n\nThis 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. \nThere is no fee to attend the program\, but space is limited and advance registration is required. \nFollow the conversation on twitter with #EIConf12
