Satellite Pre-Conference Session at the 7th European Conference on Health Economics: Rome July 2008
GENI was spearheaded at the European Health Economists Conference in 2006 with Terms of Reference to facilitate the effective integration of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs), economic & clinical evidence into national decision making and clinical practice in the health sector, especially hospitals and primary care.
The 2007 IHEA GENI Satellite Session in Denmark provided a broad international overview and assisted in synthesizing methodological issues and developing key priorities for GENI’s Masterplan, with input from a broad range of stakeholders including economists, governments, the WHO, World Bank and OECD.
The GENI Satellite session at the 7th European Conference on 23 July 08 will expedite international developments by considering the progress on implementing the GENI Master plan and provide an opportunity for further input and participation by a broad range of countries, especially European. Board members will finalise the establishment the GENI committees that will report to the GENI Board through further stakeholder participation and will review time lines for key deliverables. We seek to further facilitate our collaboration with other economists, WHO, OECD, World Bank and possibly the Gates Foundation and thereby achieve GENI’s key aims and objectives. There is no charge for participation in this Satellite Session.
GENI’s Board members: Prof Frans Rutten (Erasmus University, The Netherlands); Prof Michael Drummond (York University, NICE, UK); Dr Kathryn Antioch (Health Economics and Funding Reforms, National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Monash University, Australia); Prof Louis Niessen (Erasmus University, The Netherlands and John Hopkins School of Public Health, USA) Dr William Lawrence (Agency for Health Care Research & Quality USA)
