Key Learnings contained in this article:

HOC will be attending and reporting on the 4th Annual World Health Care Congress, 22–24 April. Billed as “the must-attend event for healthcare, government and corporate leaders to formulate solutions to the escalating challenges of healthcare cost, quality, and delivery,” the congress features a stellar array of topics and speakers.

The 27 keynote speakers include: Paul Steiger, Managing editor, The Wall Street Journal; Carolyn Clancy, MD, Director, Agency for Health Care Research and Quality; Peter Neupert, Corporate Vice President for Health Strategy, Microsoft Corp; Adam Bosworth, Vice President, Google, Inc; Ronald Williams, President and CEO, Aetna, Inc; Uwe Reinhardt, health policy expert, Professor of political economy, Princeton University; and Andrew Von Eschenbach, Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration.

Among the scores of topics under discussion are:

  • Public reporting of quality and cost of care
  • The business mandate for chronic care interventions
  • Globalisation: the impact on healthcare systems
  • Global best practices in pay-for-performance – insights from the UK’s physician incentive system
  • Measurement of health status for improved productivity.

As we noted in our March issue, HOC will be attending and reporting on the 4th Annual World Health Care Congress held on 22–24 April in Washington, DC, USA.

The Congress is billed as “the must-attend event for healthcare, government and corporate leaders to formulate solutions to the escalating challenges of healthcare cost, quality, and delivery.”

Watch for our synopsis in the May issue. Also in that issue, we’ll be covering the 3rd annual meeting of the International Society for Medical Publishing Professionals, which will be held in Philadelphia on 24–25 April, and whose theme is “Ensuring integrity in medical publications: conflicts, credibility, and collaboration.”
