3-4 December, 2007, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsFollowing the notable success of the World Health Care Congress Europe, World Congress presents the European Leadership Summit on Chronic Care - global best practices in implementing chronic care programmes.
Chronic diseases and long term conditions can represent up to 70% of a country's total health expenditure. These costs are even higher when chronic conditions are poorly managed. With aging populations and an increasing number of chronic patients, health systems worldwide are embracing chronic care as one of the most promising opportunities to improve clinical and financial outcomes.
The European Leadership Summit on Chronic Care is the forum where government and industry leaders share successful initiatives and global best practices in the implementation of chronic disease management programmes. The first annual event will convene senior executives from key organisations advancing chronic care in Europe including providers, payers, suppliers, customers, policy-makers and health officials.
A two-day networking opportunity, the event features visionary keynote addresses, controversial debates, implementation case studies, tutorials and informal roundtable discussions.
Four focused summits will give attendees a unique opportunity to discuss pertinent issues in depth and determine actionable plans with their colleagues:
- IT Infrastructures, Electronic Health Records and Chronic Care
- Aligning Financial Incentives and Restructuring Care
- Telehealth and Remote Monitoring
- Empowering Patients and Supporting Self-Care
Two best practice seminars will also explore disease specific initiatives for:
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular and Lung Diseases
