Scarce resources entail tough choices: setting priorities, enabling prevention, organizing and financing care delivery. The event brought together leaders from policy, academia, public and private institutions in order to enlighten decision-makers by providing an overview of evaluation methodology and implementation in various countries. A particular emphasis was placed on the context in which evaluation projects take place. This unique and innovative perspective shed light on the rationale of irrationalities that economic evaluation entails in the real world.
Besides prominent foundations, such as the Robert-Bosch-Foundation, the Krupp-Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente US, the Center for Healthcare Management is proud to announce the sponsorship of Fresenius Medical Care North America and Dentons US LLP. We are particularly excited that their sponsorship also involves the participation of their senior global leadership in the Center’s 4th European Forum: Innovation & Implementation. Among others we welcome:
New York – The Center for Healthcare Management and Columbia University’s Department of Health Policy & Management (HPM) at the Mailman School of Public Health recently signed an affiliation agreement.
As a leader in healthcare management research, the Center has worked hand-in-hand with social scientists, mathematicians, political scientists, and data management experts to apply evaluation research to medical and management oriented innovations.
