Evidence for Sustainability of Health Care: increasing value, reducing waste

As the sustainability of national health services is a global challenge and an evidence-based, cost-conscious, patient-centered and high value health care is the main goal of every national health service, the Conference aims to promote an evidence-based approach to sustainability of health services, where evidence should inform all health care decisions at every level (patients, health care professionals and policy-makers) and cuts-based programs to contain costs should be replaced by an evidence-informed strategy to reduce waste and increase value of health care.

The Conference program is now released:

  • 7 keynote lectures by Paul Glasziou (Bond University), Sir Muir Gray (Better Value Healthcare), Trisha Greenhalgh (University of Oxford), Rod Jackson (The University of Auckland), Per Vandvik (University of Oslo), Brian Alper (EBSCO Health), Nino Cartabellotta (GIMBE Foundation)
  • 50 selected oral presentations on evidence generation, synthesis, presentation and translation, on education to EBP / EBHC and on increasing value and reducing waste of healthcare
  • 2 free pre-conference workshops
  • 4 workshops "How to..." run by EBHC worldwide opinion leaders
  • poster sessions
  • productive small group sessions to encourage discussion and the development of new ideas.

Delegates of all health professions and disciplines are expected to attend from all 5 continents: participants will include professional societies, health researchers, clinicians, decision‐makers, managers and students.
