9^th Prague International Health Summit

Role of Hospitals in the 21st Century

Advance Healthcare Management Institute

The conference focused on changes that hospitals have to undergo as due to increasing importance of chronic diseases, population aging, new technologies and the ongoing centralization of specialized care. The first part of the conference was dedicated to examples of changes in the organizational structure and processes in individual hospitals. The second part focused on the distribution of duties among hospitals associated in regional networks and the management of flows of information, patients and staff within these networks. The third part was devoted to foreign and local examples of cooperation between hospitals and outpatient sector.
The conference was held on May 17–18, 2018 at Hotel International – and as ever – hosted distinguished speakers from abroad.
