Topics covered

Topic covered this year :

The goal of the population-based approach is to ensure the highest level of health possible for the population of a territory, given the resources available. It aims to coordinate the service offer on the basis of a given population rather than on the basis of the individuals consuming the services.

  • Chronic disease management : strategies for identifying, monitoring and managing of chronic diseases within a population.
  • Health promotion : encouraging healthy behaviours and lifestyles within the population.
  • Management of high-risk populations : identifying and implementing targeted interventions for high-risk populations.
  • Coordination and integration of care : ensuring better coordination between healthcare providers, especially for patients with chronic or complex diseases, in order to provide better healthcare and reduce the costs.
  • Use of Health IT to facilitate evidence-based decision-making.
  • Health equity regardless of socio-economic or demographic status.
  • Evaluation of results : measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions to ensure that they achieve their objectives and genuinely improve the health of the population.

The prize for the best abstract will be awarded by the scientific committee.
