McKesson Events

Implementing cost-effective change based on evidence is the key challenge for health systems around the world. This conference brings together evidence creators and evidence users to define the processes for implementing best clinical practice and forging efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Evidence 2010 aims to be the leading evidence-based healthcare event at the forefront of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) debate and innovation. The conference is a collaboration between the BMJ Group and the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, University of Oxford (CEBM).

The aims of the conference are to:

• Improve evidence-based decision making and provide practical, evidence-based ideas that can be implemented in practice
• Foster effective innovation
• Guide efficient commissioning 
• Provide education and training to improve evidence-based healthcare
  

Through three conference streams (Evidence, Transforming Healthcare and Implementation), the programme will strengthen links and collaboration across the various groups in the healthcare chain, and provide a forum for delegates to develop a more integrated approach to the development of evidence-based healthcare.

The programme will address the challenge for policymakers and healthcare professionals to penetrate, understand and respond to the burgeoning evidence-base on healthcare interventions. It will also guide clinicians to act in the individual patients’ best interests and ensure that decisions reflect value.

The conference will explore ways that developers of EBM resources, such as systematic reviews and clinical knowledge databases, and EBM trainers and methodologists can better meet the needs of the clinicians, managers and policy makers responsible for putting evidence into practice.
