Breakfast on April 22, in Vancouver. CIHI has undergone a major restructuring to enhance its relevance. Its very rich data has as much potential as it has impact. A lot. The Chair and CEO will review this and demonstrate the institute’s role, as our systems are being held more and more accountable to government. Effective corporate partners of the system will do well to use the data in their product planning. For Glenda Yeates and Graham Scott in Vancouver please click here to register. On the downtown campus of UBC.

Breakfast on May 1 in Toronto. In Andalusía Spain: No one waits more than 180 days for surgery, 60 million appointments were made by a centralized system in 2007, 40 Million Electronic Prescriptions were processed in 2007. Denis Protti has been to Andalusía and gives the government high marks including this interesting comment: “the principle of "customer precedence," (is) necessary to overcome organizational structures and turf wars. This principle is manifest in the motto, "We do not consider them [i.e., patients] customers or clients, we consider them owners!" Mr. Pablo Rivera was deputy minister in charge. He provides the colorful commentary. For Pablo Rivero in Toronto please click here to register. On the downtown campus of UofT.
