IHE Consensus Conference on Self-Monitoring in Diabetes: Institute of Health Economics
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Dates: 14-16 November 2006
Venue: The Westin Edmonton
The Institute of Health Economics is proud to announce that it is hosting the first Consensus Development Conference to be held in Canada; the topic will be Self-Monitoring in Diabetes. The purpose of a Consensus Development Conference is to evaluate available scientific evidence on a health issue and develop a statement that answers a number of predetermined questions. A group of experts presents the evidence to a panel, or “jury,” which is an independent, broad-based, non-government, non-advocacy group.
The panel listens to and questions the experts. The audience is also given the opportunity to pose questions to the experts. The panel convenes and develops the consensus statement, which is read to the experts and the audience in the morning of the final day. This statement will be distributed widely in the Canadian health care system.
Objective: To develop a consensus statement on the benefits and costs of testing supplies for self-monitoring of blood glucose in diabetes, to inform policies of financial coverage.
