“The Quantum Leap, Measurement: redefining Health’s Boundaries?”
Sofitel Sydney, Wentworth
  

24th Sept:  Pre-conference Workshops

25– 27 Sept:   Conference Days

Following the success of The Great Healthcare Challenge in 2011, the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) and the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS)   will  join forces with Women’s and Children’s Healthcare Australasia in 2012 to bring you – The Quantum Leap,  Measurement:  redefining Health’s boundaries.

The conference is brought to you by three of Australia’s most respected health organisations, covering three significant areas of health:

•  quality and safety through standards development and promotion,
•  national representation of the public healthcare sector, and
•  specialisation of hospital management.

We represent three very specific and dynamic aspects of healthcare with a broad and influential reach across the health spectrum.  Our collaborative efforts ensure that we are presenting some of the best specialists in the field of quality improvement to provide a stimulating and enriching environment for all.

Health has been undergoing many changes in recent years.  However, measurement of outcomes and results has been a constant necessity for patient care, which requires us to cleverly redefine Health’s boundaries in terms of safety and efficacy.  Assessment of organisational performance is now taking on an added imperative.
How much further can we move forward in improving the level of measurement undertaken before the focus is imbalanced – and are we actively determining how meaningful the measurement is, or are we just resting on the laurels of old presumptions?

The growth in quality, improvement and standards has created an industry of those who are keen to measure results, impacting on those whose efforts are continually being measured, evaluated and even standardised.  The improvements may be plentiful, but are the right measures in place and has the quest for strict performance overshadowed other vital areas?
Every conference has its own pace, rhythm and a vision for how the future should look.  We are delighted you have taken the opportunity to be a part of what we promise is Australia’s best value health conference this year, and trust that you and your organisation will benefit from attending, long after the conference closes.

The structure for the conference includes a range of local and international speakers who will present an information-rich program of plenary sessions, as well as invited papers and workshops exploring the key issues that may affect you.

Trade exhibitors will showcase their products and services to the industry’s leaders and decision-makers and we are delighted you are here to take advantage of the knowledge, learning, experience and camaraderie of those with a passionate interest in understanding health’s critical boundaries created by measurement.

Without the generous sponsorship and support from our key sponsors – The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, the Ministry of Health NSW, and the many sponsors who have invested their valuable time and resources, the conference would not be possible and we are especially grateful for such support.
We warmly welcome all attendees and hope you enjoy the conference.

Who should attend?

This conference will appeal to a wide cross-section of the public and private healthcare sectors across rural, regional and metro areas.

** Member: Any individual, associate or institution who is a member of the AHHA, ACHS or WCHA.
