Following the notable success of the World Health Care Congress Europe, The European Leadership Summit on Chronic Care is the forum where government and industry leaders share successful initiatives and global best practices in the implementation of chronic disease management programmes.

The event is organized under the high patronage of the European Commission and convenes senior executives from all the key organisations advancing chronic care in Europe including providers, payers, suppliers, customers, policy-makers and health officials.

Focusing on practical information and actionable plans, the conference agenda includes best practice presentations from over 15 countries including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, Scotland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, and the United States.

Four focused summits give attendees a unique opportunity to discuss pertinent issues in depth and determine actionable plans with their colleagues:

• IT Infrastructures, Electronic Health Records and Chronic Care
• Aligning Financial Incentives and Restructuring Care
• Telehealth and Remote Monitoring
• Empowering Patients and Supporting Self-Care

Two best practice seminars explore disease specific initiatives for:

• Diabetes
