SUMMARY:Future of Medicine Summit VI
DESCRIPTION:The 2012 Future of Medicine Summit VI will feature local and nationally recognized speakers to share their wisdom. \nThe Future of Medicine is designed to engage physicians and key community stakeholders in the reformation of the County’s health care delivery system to one that make sense and addresses fundamental patient care and cost issues\, creating a road map to where medicine should be in five years. \nIn November of 2007 a summit of 135 of these stakeholders from Palm Beach County representing businesses\, physicians\, hospitals\, public health officials and elected officials\, gathered to begin the creation of this map. Using data collected from over 300 surveys done across the county they decided to create four distinct working groups to address health issues in the county. These groups were to address: \n\nCovering more people and improving access to primary care\nEncouraging and enhancing prevention and wellness activities across the county\nEnhancing quality of care and patient safety\nImproving the viability of physician practices and other healthcare providers\n\nEach of these working groups\, comprised of volunteers from the county\, have met on a regular basis since then and have created specific goals to address the mandates given them.  The work is re-addressed each year with an annual Summit. \nThe Summit is partnering with Scripps Florida to explore three areas relevant to many in the general public\, as well as physicians and health care providers.  This year three chronic conditions will be covered:  diabetes\, heart disease\, and mental health with a focus on bipolar disorder.

SUMMARY:IOM Workshop: Infectious Disease Detection
DESCRIPTION:The systems to detect and respond to infectious disease outbreaks have suffered decades of underfunding and neglect in the United States and other countries\, and the global financial crisis has worsened the problem.  At the same time\, the recent outbreak of hantavirus in Yosemite National Park\, illnesses due to salmonella-contaminated mangoes\, the whooping cough epidemic in Washington state\, and reports of increasingly drug-resistant tuberculosis abroad all point to the crucial need for systems that can effectively prevent\, detect\, and mount a rapid response to infectious agents. \nThe Institute of Medicine is hosting a two-day workshop to explore how to maintain effective infectious disease surveillance and response capacity in an age of austerity.  Participants will look at the impact of budget cutbacks on population health and public health agencies among other topics. \nThe workshop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT on Sept. 10\, and from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT on Sept. 11 in Room 100 of the National Academies’ Keck Center\, 500 Fifth St.\, N.W.\, Washington\, D.C.  An agenda and registration are available online.

SUMMARY:Allies\, Adversaries\, or Strange Bedfellows? The Relationship Between Research\, Politics\, & Policy
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. health care system prides itself on adopting the principles of evidence-based medicine. Do the same principles and values hold true for evidence-based policymaking? If better evidence leads to better policy\, then how does research get translated into the acceptance\, alteration\, or rejection of specific policies? What is the political equivalent of “bench-to-bedside”? When does the process fall short and how can it be made more effective? \nThis free webinar\, hosted by the Association for Public Policy and Management and Mathematica Policy Research\, will feature an engaging discussion of the roles health research and evidence play in the policy process. The interactive\, roundtable-style forum will include speakers representing several facets of the policy sphere. The webinar will feature streaming live video of the forum and web attendees can participate in the discussion by submitting questions to panelists during the presentation. \nSpeakers: \n\nWelcome and Introduction: Paul Decker\, Ph.D.\, Mathematica CEO\, APPAM president elect\nModerator: Susan Dentzer\, editor-in-chief Health Affairs\n\nPanelists: \n\nChuck Clapton\, J.D.\, minority health policy director\, Senate Health\, Education\, Labor\, and Pensions Committee\nJudy Feder\, Ph.D.\, professor of public policy\, Georgetown University\, and health policy fellow\, Urban Institute; former deputy assistant secretary for planning and evaluation\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\nWendell Primus\, Ph.D.\, senior policy adviser\, Office of the House Minority Leader\n\nFor more information\, please email.  \nRegister online
