Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

For the tenth time we will be meeting in Warsaw for the International Conference “Hospital Management”. All previous editions of the conference have been greatly successful. To date, over 2400 high profile hospital executives, policy makers, experts and industry leaders have attended the Conference, which has attained the opinion of the most prestigious and most professionally valued hospital conference in Poland. Among scientific partners of the conference - Risk Authority of Stanford University Medical Network, University of Sydney, National Institute of Public Health, Leon Kozminski University, American College of Physician Executives, American College of Medical Directors, European Committee for Healthcare Industry COCIR and last but not least, the European Hospital Federation HOPE - should be mentioned.

Last year, Polish-British Health Summit took place at the HM Conference with personal presence of the UK Ambassador. Two years ago we hosted Polish-Australian Health Summit with personal presence of the Australian Ambassador and Australian Trade Commissioner.

The leading agenda this year is going to be the “Coordinated Health Care: opportunities and challenges”. Together with representatives of the Polish Ministry of Health, with experts, scientists and managers, we will discuss the issues related to organization and cost-effectiveness of managed care. That is crucial, because patient care in Poland is quite uncoordinated at the moment.

As the Conference is the international one, we are planning a very special event this year. It will be the Polish-American Health Summit in cooperation with the US Embassy in Poland. We will have a chance to learn from the American system, which has recently undergone a reform under the Affordable Care Act, so called “Obama care”. Americans are pioneers of managed care medicine. Their recent reforms designate health insurance providers and hospitals as the responsible institutions for provision of comprehensive, cost-effective care for patients. We expect strong representation from the USA. We will also have a number of presentations from innovative American companies active in healthcare sector.

We are currently working on the special session in cooperation with the US National Cancer Institute.

The conference is addressed to hospital executives, hospital owners, investors, as well as to the healthcare industry. Many issues will also be of interest to physicians and nurses involved in hospital management and clinical medicine.
