AmCham Romania is pleased to invite members to a flagship conference on Value-Based Healthcare. Piloting Procurement Models for a Resilient and Patient-Centric Health System

The conference will take place on Tuesday, December 5^th, at Crowne Plaza Bucharest Hotel, between 08:30-12:15. On-site participants' registration starts at 08:30 am.

The event aims to facilitate an open discussion between decision-makers at the executive and legislative level, as well as practitioners in the field of health services, based on AmCham’s recommendations of setting the stage for a community of learning value-based healthcare principles. The objective of such a community would be to foster the exchange of good practices, and the development of pilot projects maximizing patient health outcomes through quality acquisitions while reducing total health expenditures and promoting increased efficiency. Since the shift to value-based healthcare requires an integrated commitment of all actors in the health system, the spectrum of authorities we target around the table is rather large. In the audience, apart from AmCham members and counterpart authorities, we also target hospital managers and hospital purchasing staff from Bucharest and all around the country.

Participation to this event is open to AmCham Romania members free of charge, based on prior confirmation online here, no later than November 29, 2023, EOB.

Many thanks to our sponsors for all their guidance throughout this AmCham initiative: Alpha Medical, GE HealthCare, IQVIA, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Roche, Sofmedica, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet.

We look forward to welcoming you!
