SUMMARY:Application deadline: AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Performance
DESCRIPTION:The AHCJ Reporting Fellowships on Health Care Performance is a yearlong program allowing journalists to pursue a significant reporting project related to the U.S. health care system. It can be local or national in scope\, or a little of both — say an aspect of the Affordable Care Act playing out in your community or subject specialty\, or the impact of particular evidence-based treatments on health outcomes\, or an analysis of a health care organization’s performance\, using public data sets. Fellows pursue the projects with the support of their newsrooms or freelance outlets\, which commit to publish or air the work.  \nGuidance is provided by AHCJ fellowship leaders through customized seminars on health care systems\, conference calls and email consultations. The fellowship covers the cost of attending the seminars and AHCJ conferences\, and a project allowance is available to defray the cost of field reporting\, health data analysis and other project-related research. In addition\, each fellow will receive a $2\,500 fellowship award upon the successful completion of the project. \nExtended deadline!\nBecause of power outages and other woes brought upon the East Coast by Hurricane Sandy\, AHCJ has extended the deadline for applications by a few days. New deadline: Nov. 12 \n• Understanding and applying for the fellowship

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

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.
