world leader in health care, Group Health Cooperative is the first
delivery
system to develop practical evidence-based ways you can
directly apply in
your health care organization to bring the benefits
of
the best available
research in a new way to organizations, clinicians
and patients.
This
conference will emphasize practical tools that participants can
take away and
immediately apply in their own organization. This
hands-on approach
will be beneficial to all health care organizations
that wish to implement
change and improvement - ranging from those
organizations just beginning to
implement clinical improvement to
those
with more developed programs and
sophisticated systems of care.
The conference will also provide a foundation
in the basics of
evidence-based medicine, and is intended to be of interest
to those
new
to EBM and those with extensive experience in evidence-based
clinical
improvement. Various clinical conditions will be presented
using
Group
Health's unique evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines,
developed
using a rigorous and transparent process which puts practitioners
and
patients in touch with both the best available evidence and
its
clinical
implications.
