Invitation To Attend: On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, you’re invited to the 4th bi-annual Health Services and Policy Research Conference, convened by Health Services Research Association of Australia and New Zealand. The Conference for 2005 is titled “Health Systems, Services, and Strife”. The scope of the Conference includes primary, secondary and tertiary health services. The following themes are built around the notion of broadly reflecting the following four categories:
- health system comparisons;
- including comparisons between Australian health services and those overseas or between Australian states and territories.
- health outcomes from health services and systems;
- outcomes of service and service level interventions; outcomes relating to system design.
- assessing and improving value from health services;
- measuring value and costs; interventions to improve value; microeconomics of health.
- regulation and risk.
- regulation of health care organistions and personnel: risk management in the health sector including clinical risk management.
This Conference will provide opportunities for health researchers, policy-makers, clinicians and professionals to meet and share their knowledge and experiences and collaborate on future directions for health services research and policy in Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
