Patient Centred Care 2010 Conference
Held: 29, 30 June 2010 | Venue: Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati
Meeting patient's need i.e, providing safer and affordable
'Patient-Centered Care' (PCC) is the essence of modern healthcare. This is a unique conference connecting physicians, health managers, media and public together to build a shared understanding and awareness of aspects of a modern healthcare system, analyse the gaps in provisions in the state, both in government or private sectors, and how to incorporate the patient's, physician's and society's perspective into an effective service delivery plan. The conference would deliberate on how a hospital can put in place the system of 'clinical governance'' ensuring a inbuilt mechanism for continuous improvement leading to safer and affordable clinical services learning from mistakes and experiences. The conference will build on World Health Organisation''s current high profile global campaign on ''Patient Safety''. The sessions and workshops will provide opportunities for participants to apply the PCC approach using strategically crafted cases and critical incidents.
