Healthier Communities Through Collaboration Online Conference: Tools and Techniquies for Better Outcomes in an Era of Healthcare Reform
Posted: January 27, 2011
Conference Date: February 3, 2011
Time: 11:00am EST
Communities around the globe face a variety of significant challenges to making real gains in community health. From the threat of chronic disease to increased costs and limited resources, public health leaders must think and practice differently in order to achieve meaningful improvements.
Moreover, health care reforms (such as in the US and those proposed in the UK) present new or changed requirements for how we think about—and how we engage with—individuals, organizations and communities at large on public health issues.
This one-day online conference seeks to highlight and share promising practices and "lessons learned" about how we can best collaborate to implement strategies for healthier communities. It is an ideal opportunity to bring together a group of community partners to share in a powerful, inspiring and practical learning opportunity that doesn't require the expensive registrations fees and travel costs of typical conferences. By having a group of partners share in this learning opportunity, you will be set up to quickly put these valuable ideas into practice.
Kevin Shrake, MA, FACHE / Executive VP and COO, M*D Resources, Inc., and former President/CEO, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Belleville, IL, will emphasize the critical value that collaboration can provide in support of community health assessment and improvement in light of recent U.S. health care reforms.
Other key subjects this conference will explore include:
- What it takes to make collaboration work: insights and perspectives from hospitals, private employers, schools and other partners
- Collaborative approaches to community health assessment and improvement
- Examples and case studies in community health collaboration
- No-cost and low-cost ideas for improving community health
- Effect of recent health reforms on community health collaboration
