The North America Conference on Integrated Care (NACIC24) co-hosted with the International Foundation for Integrated Care, IFIC Canada, the North America Centre for Integrated Care and the International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) and the Health System Performance Network at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto will take place in the Westin Calgary, Canada from 15-17 October 2024.
With the overarching theme ‘Creating Health with Integrated Care’, the conference will bring together leaders, researchers, clinicians, managers, community representatives, patients and caregivers from around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and care. The conference is kindly supported by our premier partners Health Standards Organization (HSO) and Accreditation Canada.
The conference will be organised around three core themes:
- Human-level transformation for collective impact,
- Community-enabled population health and wellbeing, and
- Integrated teams and systems: navigating complexity and change.
Each theme demonstrates components of IFIC 9 Pillars of Integrated care.
There are also three cross-cutting priorities that are central to the NACIC24 conference. The areas include:
- health equity,
- person and community-centered partnership, and
- evaluation.
These areas are pivotal to research and practice to advance integrated care and population health. Rather than denote as an individual conference theme, these priorities cut across and are embedded within each of the core themes. Further the first two priority areas of health equity and patient and caregiver partnership will be explicitly considered within the program planning and abstract review and selection process.
