Health Care Forum
Communities, Partnerships & Innovation
The delivery of health care is evolving from a system focused on acute care to one focused on sustainability, affordability, quality, and community.
The aging demographic is creating unsustainable pressures on our current delivery model. Patients, doctors, communities, and governments must change how they think about the health-care system and establish new service model priorities.
The 2016 forum is bringing together local and international experts to examine and explore this shift, and dive into three drivers of change: the shifting delivery model, innovation, and Community-Public Partnerships.
