The Organising Committee selected this theme as reflecting the essence of evaluation, and as presenting a challenge to search for ways and means by which evaluation can enhance the value of programs, policies and services in public, independent and private organisations.
The Keynote Speakers will address various aspects of the Conference theme and discuss specific evaluation issues related to the Conference sub-themes, as well as provide an international perspective.

| http://www.informa.com.au/prostheses | Medical devices represent the largest portion of Australia’s biotechnology sector. Surgically implanted medical devices, prostheses, are one of the most important of these technologies. Complex and sophisticated devices such as hip and knee replacements, cardiac stents, pace-makers and cochlear implants have led to vast improvement in patient outcomes.
Following on from last year’s Doyle report, prostheses regulation and funding systems are being refined and price pressures for health insurers are ramping up. Getting the regulatory mix right is a challenge, but is crucial to ensuring that the latest life saving and quality of life promoting technology is available in Australian hospitals. | | Posted: 30 July 2008 |
