24 - 25 November 2015, Brussels, Belgium.Our healthcare systems are suffering from high costs and high fragmentation - often resulting in poor medical outcomes and unjustified clinical variability in medical practices and decision making across the care providers. When looked at holistically, healthcare systems are declared "unsustainable".
