Fragmented Healthcare System – Cambridge, MA

The Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School presents its Annual Conference, Our Fragmented Healthcare System: Causes and Solutions [program in pdf], June 13-14, 2008 (Fri. June 13, 2-6 p.m., and Sat. June 14, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.).

Why is our healthcare system so fragmented in the care it gives patients? Why is this so even within a single hospital, where errors or miscommunications often seem to result from poor coordination among the myriad of professionals treating any one individual patient? The conference aims to address this broad question with a highly interdisciplinary approach.

This event is open to the general public and is offered free of charge, but RSVP by June 10th is required. Please email petrie-flom [at] law.harvard.edu or call (617) 496-4662 to register.
