A Who's Who in European Chronic Care

Chronic diseases and long term conditions can represent up to 70% of a country's total health expenditure. These costs are even higher when chronic conditions are poorly managed. With aging populations and an increasing number of chronic patients, health systems worldwide are embracing chronic care as one of the most promising opportunities to improve clinical and financial outcomes.

Following the notable success of the World Health Care Congress Europe,
The European Leadership Summit on Chronic Care is the forum where government and industry leaders share successful initiatives and global best practices in the implementation of chronic disease management programmes. Organised under the high patronage of the European Commission, the first annual event will convene senior executives from key organisations advancing chronic care in Europe including providers, payers, suppliers, customers, policy-makers and health officials.

We are incorporating what were concurrent breakout sessions on each day into the main body of the Summit. We believe you will find this new format very useful, one that allows you to benefit from each and every presentation. You will note on the programme agenda that the presentations are categorized by theme for your convenience:

• Reform, Chronic Care Models and ROI
• Aligning Financial Incentives and Restructuring Care
• IT Infrastructures, Electronic Health Records and Chronic Care
• Dramatically Improving Clinical Outcomes
• Empowering Patients and Supporting Self-Care
• Telehealth and Remote Monitoring
• Wellness and Prevention of Chronic Diseases

A two-day networking opportunity, the event features visionary keynote addresses, controversial debates, implementation case studies, tutorials and informal roundtable discussions.
