ECRI Institute’s 19th Annual Conference
Creating “Systemness” within Healthcare Delivery: Can Success be Proven and Shared?
ECRI Institute’s 19th Annual Conference, Creating “Systemness” within Healthcare Delivery: Can Success be Proven and Shared?, brings together a range of constituencies, including public and private providers and payers, policy makers, clinicians, industry, regulators, consumers/patients, and researchers.
The conference will examine the evidence of “what works and why it works” in American healthcare. Certain healthcare systems produce better outcomes than others, but attention seldom focuses on what elements within these healthcare systems produce positive change. Both the clinical and the management evidence, and the interface between these two, may be slim: this makes status-taking important. Linking management systems and clinical outcomes has not been previously addressed in a single conference that is designed for multiple stakeholders.
The conference’s examination of “systemness” will range broadly, asking thought-provoking questions, such as:
- What is “systemness?”
- Which elements within mature healthcare systems result in the best clinical outcomes?
- Are approaches taken by long-established healthcare 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.
We invite you to participate actively in this important program, to engage in a dynamic dialogue with the speakers and with your colleagues in the audience. By doing so, you will not simply be listening; you will be influencing the effectiveness of healthcare delivery.
There is no fee to attend the program, but space is limited and advance registration is required. For more information visit the conference website.
