Fourth International Conference on Quality in Medicine, Global Health and Law

The Role of Disruptive Innovation in Improving Quality of Care

The discipline of quality management plays an essential role in effective functioning of the healthcare organizations. The first formal initiatives in this field were undertaken in Western Europe,  Japan and the United States in the early 1970s, inspired by the quality control methods used in the manufacturing industry. Nowadays, hundreds of governmental agencies, academic, business,  non-profit, and community organizations around the world pursue research and implementation of various healthcare quality improvement programs.

The first healthcare quality management  initiatives undertaken in Poland in the early 1990s by the Polish Ministry of Health, resulted in the creation of the National Society for Quality Management in Healthcare in 1993, and in the  establishment of the National Center for Healthcare Quality Monitoring in Krakow in 1994. The Center provides an essential administrative infrastructure for the training and accreditation  purposes in the field of healthcare quality monitoring in Poland. Nevertheless, an ongoing training of healthcare professionals in various aspects of quality management is necessary. It can be  effectively accomplished through the ongoing international and interprofessional collaboration encouraging the exchange of research results and ideas.

The goal of the annual conferences on  Quality in Medicine, Global Health and Law held at the Scientific Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) in Paris, France, is to facilitate such collaboration among healthcare  organizations and academic centers in Poland, France, the United States as well as other countries around the globe.

After a productive and inspiring Roundtable Meeting on Quality Improvement  in Medicine held at the PAN Paris Scientific Center in April 2018, the Second PAN Paris International Conference on Quality Improvement in Medicine, held in May 2019, was  focused on the role of international collaboration in improving quality of care. The goal of the Third PAN Paris Conference on Quality in Medicine, Global Health and Law, held in June 2021, was  to explore the role of interprofessional collaboration in improving quality of care in the time of the pandemic. The Fourth Conference in the series due to be held on 27-29 of April 2022, will  explore the role of Disruptive Innovation (DI) in improving quality of care. The invited speakers will represent academic, governmental, and corporate entities in Poland, France, the United States, as well as other countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
