The HARC Forum, to be held on 16 September, will be chaired by Mr Chris Shipway of the Agency for Clinical Innovation and will include a panel discussion with speakers including Dr George Argyrous, Senior Lecturer in Evidence-based Policy Making from the University of New South Wales and Bureau of Health Information CEO Dr Jean-Frederic Levesque, who will discuss initiatives and challenges in evaluating integrated care programs from a local perspective.
