About summit
This time the conference focused on the key point of all health systems: how to organize and provide medical services so that they bring demonstrable value in the form of measurable results while remaining safe and friendly to patients? What conditions must be met in order to spontaneously arise and to enforce such an innovative, highly efficient model of providing health services?
In the first part we discussed system requirements for the effective delivery of health services, both at the level of resources and funding, and in particular at the relationship between providers and payers. We also discussed the question of information and communication infrastructure.
These system conditions were highlighted by an introductory workshop, which dealt in depth with the structure of the Dutch health care system. It was no coincidence: the Dutch model best of all existing systems in developed countries meets the conditions for the effective delivery of health services and in recent years has been repeatedly rated as one of the best in the world.
The main part of the conference focused on innovative delivery models and organization of health services on examples from all over the world. Such projects were presented from the USA, South Africa, Europe (Germany, the Netherlands), Middle East, Chile and India. Conference delegates had the opportunity to meet particular organization and structure of successful micro-systems that provide highly effective comprehensive care for chronically ill patients.
Also this time two ninety-minute time blocks were, devoted to parallel working groups, traditionally organized by major stakeholders in the health sector. This, along with more time space for panel discussions at the end of each block, further increased the highly interactive nature of our conference. In conclusion, the results of the conference were published in the form of a written declaration.
The conference was held again at the Hotel Pyramida, and hosted as always before very important speakers from abroad.
