2nd Annual Promoting Health Action through Innovative Health Coaching

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 23, 2008,
San Diego, California United States

Increasingly employers and health plans are leveraging the inherent value of health coaching.

Wellness in the workplace has shed its “touchy-feely, basket weaving” image and established itself as a viable business strategy for containing healthcare costs and improving workforce productivity.

Despite this progress though, engaging “high risk” and potentially “high cost” claimants continues to be a critical challenge for both health plans and employers. Although many companies and organizations are now beginning to recognize that preventable risk factors are largely too blame for sharp healthcare cost increases, many are uncertain as to how they can effect real change to improve the health of their populations as a whole.

Action-oriented health promotion and targeted health coaching interventions and behavior modification programs hold tremendous potential for overcoming this paramount challenge.

This conference will highlight the success strategies of health plans and employers that have developed successful value-driven health coaching strategies that have yielded real health improvement results, behavior change, risk reduction and cost savings.

The Fundamentals of Reputational Risk: Managing for Value Creation

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 23, 2008,
ETC Venues, London, England, United Kingdom

Corporate governance and risk management deficiencies are again at the centre of corporate scandals, and in particular the financial sector. According to Economist Intelligence Unit surveys, 52% of companies stated that they considered reputational risk a more significant challenge than regulatory risk, country risk, market risk and human capital risk. However, without proper training 62% responded that reputational risk was the hardest to manage.

What is not difficult to measure is the current and prospective impact on operations, earnings, value and share price arising from negative public opinion. Indeed, when markets are turbulent, as is presently the case, those companies withbetter reputations are far more likely to weather the storm than those without.

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 26, 2008,
The Ritz-Carlton, Pentago City Arlington, Virginia United States

A new administration will be in power for the first time in nearly a decade. This will certainly mean new challenges for medicine in general and radiology in particular. What''s ahead and how radiologists should prepare themselves is a prime focus of this symposium.

New issues demand clearly reasoned responses. The Deficit Reduction Act, pay for performance (P4P), and escalating turf battles are just a few of the many challenges confronting our specialty. Demands for quality improvement, sub-specialization, and expanded hours of routine coverage require effective practice governance and a sophisticated business infrastructure. Radiologists must become actively involved in their practices and work closely with their business executives to meet the challenges ahead.

This course will discuss potential issues for radiology under a new president, legal areas of concern to radiologists, practice leadership needs, dispute resolution options, and strategic planning. Service and quality, compliance issues, recruiting and retaining employees, turf battles, self-referral, and contracting with hospitals will be covered.

The Economics of Diagnostic Imaging 2008: National Symposium is the definitive socio-economic meeting for radiology professionals. It is the main source of information for those who seek practical knowledge and strategies that can be immediately incorporated into their practices.

Oncology Drug Targets-Managing the Portfolio

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 23, 2008,
World Trade Center, Boston, Massachusetts United States

Oncology is one area where there has been no dearth of drug targets to pursue. From kinases to heat shock proteins, to anti-angiogenesis and cell cycle inhibitors, the cell signaling pathways in oncology offer a diverse and complex array of targets to be tackled. So how do teams decide on which drug targets to pursue and which to overlook? What are the criteria used to prioritize and make go, no-go decisions? How and when are those decisions made? Are drug targets subject to the same amount of scrutiny as drug candidates, where the fail fast, fail early mantra holds true?

CHI’s inaugural meeting on Oncology Drug Targets-Managing the Portfolio to be held October 22-23, 2008 at the World Trade Center in Boston, offers R&D scientists and executives in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies an opportunity to get-together and discuss the challenges in oncology portfolio management. Presentations and panel discussions offer a behind-the-scenes look at how and when some of the most important decisions are made and their potential impact on the drug pipeline. The conference offers participants a unique opportunity to network and learn from the experiences and expertise of their colleagues in oncology. The meeting is a part of CHI’s Discovery on Target 2008.

Antibodies Europe

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 23, 2008,
Lisbon Marriot Hotel Lisbon Portugal

Although therapeutic antibodies have come a long way in the past several years, many problems still exist in the production and use of these complex molecules. The negative qualities of these proteins, including immunogenicity, delivery difficulties, and the high cost of production, among others, have made the outcomes of their production and use less than satisfactory. In order to improve or eliminate these negatives, it is critical to find new ways to engineer antibodies, new antibody alternatives (such as mimetics, fragments, etc.) and novel ways to scale up production to provide large amounts of these proteins in a cost-effective way. This conference will present the latest data on how to achieve these improved results and the research data necessary to apply the solutions to your laboratory’s efforts.

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

* Improving Expression Systems/Novel Expression Systems
* Purification
* Humanization
* Improving Affinity and Binding
* Antibody and/or Protein Scaffolds
* Novel manufacturing strategies to reduce cost and improve outcomes
* Alternative delivery strategies
* Microproteins

Web of Data Practitioners Days (WOD-PD 2008)

Oct 22, 2008 - Oct 23, 2008,
Aula der Universität Wien, Universitätscampus Vienna Austria

The Web of Data Practitioners Days is a new application-oriented event for Semantic Web practitioners and interested newcomers. It is intended to communicate the results of the past years‘ semantic systems activities to a broader audience, especially to practitioners from industry and academia. In a cooperative effort, four major Austrian institutions, which have actively been conducting research in that area throughout the past years, will set the stage for this event.

Participants will have the opportunity to see how semantic technologies may improve and enhance existing Web-based software systems and how the Web of Data will provide a completely new paradigm of managing globally interlinked information. As a result, attendees will get a better idea about the practical benefits of semantic solutions and researchers obtain valuable feedback for further research directions aiming at productivity and applicability of the existing technology for real-world use cases.
