This year Canada’s largest gathering of health system leaders digs into the theme of Healthcare innovation: Advancing better outcomes and economic growth.
Health leaders will want to be there to learn how to prepare for the new technologically advanced and evolving medical landscape amid disruptive innovation and informed by artificial intelligence.
The event provides a lively mix of plenary and small-group sessions designed to spur questions, debate and strategy-sharing on some of the most pressing health system challenges.
