Report from session Better Health Care: How do we learn about improvement? is now available
The report of the Salzburg Global session Better Health Care: How do we learn about improvement? is now available online to read, download and share.
Salzburg Global sessions on health topics are thought to find effective medical approaches able to satisfy the needs of contemporary societies. One of these includes the program, Better Health Care: How Do We Learn About Improvement? held in July 2015. The session, organized by Salzburg Global in partnership with the USAID ASSIST Project and the New Ventures Fund, aimed to shed light on the best strategies to increase the rigor and generalizability of health improvement interventions.
Sixty-one participants coming from twenty-five different countries reflected on the factors within which health care improvements happen, taking into consideration external features such as context. Through an interactive approach, Fellows talked about effective evaluation approaches that are able to replicate satisfactory results.
The session elaborated on a previous program entitled Making Health Care Better in Low and Middle Income Economies: What are the next steps and how do we get there? that took place in 2012 and resulted in the production of the Salzburg Statement Better Care for All, Every Time: How to Make Health Care Better in Low and Middle Income Countries. This new occasion gave Fellows the opportunity to analyze how the medical field and the patients’ needs have evolved over the last years.
In the following report, you can find some of the insights arising from the gathering. The summary is written by Anjali Chowfla, Improvement Specialist working on the USAID Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems project being implemented by University Research Co., LLC. Apart from addressing the session inputs, the report covers some interviews with the participants.
