Scope and PurposeIt is for three reasons that the Scientific Committee has decided to focus the international HPH conference 2011 on "health gain orientation in all services": Firstly, because the reorientation of health services towards health promotion and health gain, as demanded by WHO’s Ottawa Charter in 1986, has yet to be brought about. Secondly, Finland, the host country of the HPH conference 2011, had a strong focus on "health in all policies" during its EU presidency in 2006 – with important developments the conference will be able to draw upon. And, last but not least, because better health gain is one of the main goals of the HPH network. 1. What can be understood by better health gain and salutogenesis? A consequent reorientation of health services cannot be brought about without changing the outcome expectations towards health services and systems. The conference will therefore discuss questions like the following: •••• Whose health gain – patients, staff, communities – can and should be improved in and by Health Promoting Health Services? 2. How can better health gain orientation within hospitals / health services be improved? Health gain for patients in hospitals / health services depends on the quality of core and support services and on the support patients receive for their personal disease management and lifestyle development (information, training, and counseling). Against this background, the conference will present and discuss •••• models / examples of improving patient assessment and information and the necessary cooperation between professional groups in hospitals / health services in the provision of core and support services; 3. How can better health gain be improved by strengthening continuity of care in healthcare systems? Health gain cannot be fully achieved in incomplete and fragmented healthcare systems. In this sense, continuity of care is an important contributor to health gain. But continuity obviously also poses numerous challenges to health services and systems. The conference will therefore put a focus on diagnosing problems, on identifying potential solutions, and on presenting examples of good practice: •••• What are the reasons for the difficulties observed in continuous care? 4. How can cooperation between health services and other settings contribute to better health gain? And what can be the contribution to ecological sustainability and environmental friendliness? According to the Ottawa Charter, the reorientation of health services is also about links between health services and broader social, political, economic and physical environmental components. This includes collaboration with other settings, but also tackles issues like ecological sustainability and environmental friendliness. Questions in this area will include: •••• In which areas can cooperation between health services and other settings (schools, the workplace, …) make a difference for health gain – and Additional themes In addition to the main conference themes, workshops, symposia and paper sessions of the conference will also focus on current themes and activities of HPH task forces and working groups. Program elementsConference topics will be presented and discussed in keynote lectures and panels, paper sessions, workshops and symposia, mini-presentations and poster sessions. In addition, a summer school on HPH will be organized (see conference program for additional information). Target groupsThe conference provides a forum for exchange and further development of knowledge and experiences for the following target groups: •••• Health care professionals from the medical, nursing and therapeutic fields |
