Conference
2012 European Health Management Association (EHMA) Annual Conference
Focus: Health care management
Location: Kursaal Bern Hotel, Bern, Switzerland
Dates: 13th Jun 2012 to 15th Jun 2012
At a time when systems are looking for ways to control costs and drive up quality, it is often argued that private sector involvement is an important lever for change. But is this right, and how can funders, policy makers, health leaders and managers navigate the changing health care environment to deliver the best care possible for patients?
The conference is intended to explore the opportunities and challenges that the involvement of the private sector brings to those funding and managing service provision.
Within the conference we will be exploring three aspects of this:
- the system and policy challenges;
- the management challenge of mixed public and private sector provision; and
- the role of participatory healthcare.
