13th National Health Outcomes Conference

Apr 29, 2008 - May 1, 2008,
Rydges Lake, Canberra, Australia Capital Territory Australia

With health costs climbing and budgets being stretched, it is crucial that health professionals practice according
to the best available evidence. Failure to make use of effective treatments and worse, giving treatments that do
harm is a major cause of morbidity in the population. It has been estimated that up to one in two patients fail to
receive best evidence care, and up to one in ten may actually get treatment which has the potential to be
harmful. In addition, it has been estimated that patients only receive around half the treatments they need.
How can we more effectively monitor and improve our practice through the examination of patient health
outcomes? How can we more effectively facilitate the implementation of evidence-based health care in routine
care settings? How can knowledge management systems help us confront the information deluge? How can
we bridge the gap between innovation and routine implementation?
