Abstract Submission is open until March 9th!
Sub-Themes to explore
1) Going beyond health: Building Partnerships and Strengthening Collaboration for Health In All Policies
Actionable case studies, frameworks, and strategies to build and maintain effective partnerships across actors to integrate health concerns addressed in evidence synthesis and guidelines in policies and practices of other sectors, such as environment, agriculture, and education, including at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health are one of the main topics of this subtheme. The subtheme may include innovative, multi-sector global, regional, and local efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance and (re)emerging infectious and zoonotic diseases through effective and collaborative guidelines and policies.
As for all other subthemes, equity considerations are playing a critical role here.
2) Harnessing Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Digital Innovations in Guideline Development and Implementation
Work that showcases use of artificial intelligence (AI), technological innovations in evidence synthesis and guideline development, adaptation or implementation aiming to improve equitable access, delivery, and quality of healthcare while improving efficiency and optimising the resource use. A particular topic of interest is how AI and technology increases accessibility of recommendations globally. Implementation of guideline recommendations requires interlinkages with the other elements of the systems that can benefit from machine supported solutions, e.g. accreditation program, insurance policies, quality improvement initiatives as well as the legal and professional responsibilities and mandates.
3) Innovative approaches to develop and scale up guidelines for better Planetary Health
Advancements to address and consider the health dimensions of human-caused environmental change on a planetary scale. Potential topics include sustainable health systems, environmental resilience, ecosystem-based health interventions, innovations and implications of clinical and public health guidelines considering planetary health. In particular, there is increasing work done on considering planetary health in evidence synthesis for clinical and public health guidelines and development of guidelines related to climate change and public health. This theme would may include antimicrobial resistance and its relation to planetary health.
4) Building Trust in Science and Transforming Health Systems through Guidelines
Work demonstrating examples and potential of guidelines leading to more trust in health systems and governments from perspectives of patients, providers and policy makers as well as transformative changes and strategies in making health systems more equitable, responsive, resilient to crises like pandemics, climate change, and natural disasters.
5) A Unified Framework for Health Decision-Making and Informing Research
This subtheme focuses on creating a comprehensive, transdisciplinary framework for health decision-making including all the relevant actors that are often disconnected, where evidence synthesis methods and guidelines play a crucial link. Inspired by the idea of a “theory of everything in health decision-making,” this theme would aim to bridge gaps across disciplines, methodologies, and interest holder perspectives, integrating scientific evidence, values, ethics and contextual factors into a cohesive approach for making health decisions. Such examples include close linkage and alignment between guidelines, HTA, regulators and coverage decision-making programmes, but it is not limited to this. They also include aspects of monitoring and evaluation of health decisions as they are implemented, globally, nationally and locally. Another primary goal is to use the framework to identify research priorities from health to social sciences and policy making.
Presentation Types
Long Oral: A spoken presentation, including introduction, question, and answer time. Presenters display the research and/or findings of their accepted abstract in a PowerPoint presentation. (10-minute presentation plus 5-minute Q&A).
Short Oral: A spoken presentation, including introduction, question, and answer time. Presenters display the research and/or findings of their accepted abstract in a PowerPoint presentation. (6-minute presentation plus 2-minute Q&A).
Poster: The Conference will dedicate an allotted time for poster presentations, with opportunity for audience participation and enquiry.
Workshop: Interactive workshops will be either 45 or 90 minutes long, and must be aligned with the Conference theme. Workshops can also be focused on problem-solving, where participants are split into groups to address difficult problems and then report back at the end of the workshop.
