Questions? Organizer: MESH Coalition -
Abstracts are now being accepted for the National Healthcare Coalition Preparedness Conference in Houston, TX on December 2-5, 2019.
About the Conference
The goal for the 2019 Conference is Taking Coalitions to New Heights. Healthcare Coalitions are a very real force multiplier for resiliency. They are essential in facilitating a more relevant, timely, effective and efficient response, which in turn improves how affected communities’ needs are met during disasters as well as improving how emergency needs are met every day. Creating an evidence base is vital to making the case for ongoing investment in resiliency. We know that allocating scarce resources requires decision-makers to understand the trade-offs between different opportunities. Building an optimal resiliency portfolio requires robust analysis. We view our HCC expenditures as investments as they occur in a context of uncertainty and offer yields both in financial returns and/or improved outcomes.
Based on this, we are looking for presentations that align with the designated topics. Presentations must incorporate coalitions by integrating and adopting various techniques, developing best practices and adding overall value. We are taking the Emergency Preparedness Cycle up to the next level.
The Conference is operated by the non‐profit healthcare coalition MESH, based in Indianapolis.
Presentation Format
There is one presentation category:
Oral presentations: Sessions are 75 minutes (including Q/A) and are designed to be interactive and produce identifiable outcomes. Presentations may be made by single or multiple presenters. You will be asked to indicate which of the following four tracks your proposed presentation fits within:
