Invitation: Discovery Health Quality Summit 2015
| Discovery Health Quality Summit 2015 Globally, the healthcare sector has come under considerable challenges as a result of the proliferation of diseases, and the resultant morbidity and mortality. Further, above - inflation costs have strained healthcare systems. Leaders recognize that collaborative, comprehensive solutions are required to address these challenges, and to advance healthcare into the new context of patient centered care. Solutions that focus on quality, costs and access are proven to work, with patients benefiting the most. Central to this combined focus, is our intrinsic belief that patients who are empowered, engaged, activated and treated as respected partners in healthcare can increase the successes in healthcare systems. Quality of care is therefore one of the key aspects of healthcare innovation. Robust debate focused on the level of care that patients receive will force ever-new ways of thinking about making the patients' journey in the system one of the best quality. Discovery Health strives to help strengthen this system through smarter healthcare delivery, ensuring better health and better healthcare while sharing its innovative knowledge base to improve societal goals. Please join us for the second Discovery Health Quality Summit on patient-centered care and its benefits to patients and the healthcare system. Details
We look forward to your participation at the Discovery Health Quality Summit, where we will exchange latest thoughts on the dynamic improvement in quality healthcare, and recognise excellence through the Discovery Health Quality of Care Awards. |
