Welcome to 16th Annual UCLA Health Care Symposium

December 16, 2011 by admin

The 16th Annual UCLA Health Care Symposium entitled “California 2014: Future of Practice, Delivery Systems, and Quality in Reform” will be held Saturday, January 21, 2012, 8:30 am to noon, at the Faculty Center on the campus of UCLA.

The 16th Annual UCLA Healthcare Symposium invites you to join us in exploring the current state of healthcare reform, and what the coming changes portend for the practice of medicine in California. Foreseeing the impact is difficult, even for experts in the field. Yet it is certain that the future healthcare system will dramatically alter the way physicians intersect with their patients, third-party payers, government, hospitals, and their fellow physicians and other healthcare providers.

Please join us as we go beyond the talking points and explore the impacts of healthcare reform on the practice of medicine. The Symposium is organized by UCLA medical students and admission is open and free to the public. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, there is no charge for admission. Thank you for your interest in HCS 2012. This years’ event was a success, thank you to everyone who came out, we appreciate all your support.

Stay tuned! We will provide presenter slides via email after the conclusion of the event.

The objectives of the 2012 symposium are to:

1. Develop a working understanding of the major barriers to healthcare access and delivery in the greater Los Angeles area, including an appreciation of the major geographical and socioeconomic differences that contribute to disparate health outcomes in the Los Angeles population.

2. Quantitatively and qualitatively compare current quality of care and outcomes between different socioeconomic, racial, and geographic subpopulations in Los Angeles, and place these results in historical context.

3. Discuss health care delivery models, including their shortcomings and successes, which might address the disparities in Los Angeles.

4. Engage the Los Angeles community in discussion on pertinent healthcare issues and provide resources and opportunities to address these problems through building networks among community members, community organizations, and healthcare professionals.

5. Propose realistic, action-oriented short and long-term goals for improving healthcare in Los Angeles.
