Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, will provide an overview of current trends and pressures that are shaping the health care delivery system; describe the importance of engaging all stakeholders, including patients and consumers, in achieving high quality care; and explain how increased use of patient-centered outcomes research, as is called for in recent legislation, is key to making the U.S. health care system an information-rich, patient-centered enterprise – from the boardroom to the front lines of care.
Lecture is from 4:30PM to 5:30PM, followed by a thirty minute reception. Dinner will be served after the lecture and reception.
