Description of Conference: Where policy, strategy, finance and innovation combine for a better healthcare future
For delegates
Like many countries, Australia faces growing pressures in health funding and patient care due to the ageing of our population, technological changes and increasing patient expectations. The health industry currently accounts for almost 9 per cent of Australia’s gross domestic product.
In the coming decades Australia will have more people suffering from chronic health conditions, a higher proportion of older people with complex health care needs, increasing patient expectations and burgeoning costs from new diagnostic and treatment technologies.
To address the growing pressure on health funding, Australia is embarking on one of its most significant healthcare reforms to provide a blueprint for tackling future challenges in the Australian health system including:
* The rapidly increasing burden of chronic disease;
* The ageing of the population;
* Rising health costs; and
* Inefficiencies exacerbated by cost shifting and the blame game.

Panel discussion with experts in the industry
But a number of important questions still need to be answered:
Are the current funding mechanisms appropriate and sufficient?
What is the best way to manage population health in Australia?
What can be done to improve the coordination of care, especially with regards the management of chronic illness?
What future role can health information technology play, and how can it be made more accessible?
How can a better balance between public and private sector care be achieved?
What is the future of private health insurance in Australia?
Healthcare World Australia 2010
The 2nd annual Healthcare World Australia event will seek to address these issues and more. Featuring a mix of leaders from Government, healthcare providers, technology enablers, CDM program managers and independent experts, this three day conference will focus on the issues that matter. It is where the long term reform of the Australian healthcare system will be discussed, and big strides can be taken towards implementation.
