This year's World Medical Innovation Forum, a global gathering of more than 1,000 senior healthcare leaders, will focus on cancer.
Here are four things to know about the forum.
1. The forum, hosted by Boston-based Partners HealthCare, is scheduled for April 25-27.
2. The forum will kick off with a program called "Global Cancer Markets." During that program, expert panelists from leading international companies and key governmental entities, including the National Institute for Health Care Excellence in the U.K., will address how approaches to deliver innovative technologies differ in various international markets, what the respective drivers are and the requirements and challenges that must be met, according to a news release.
3. Also during the forum, "Curative Therapies: The Economics of Game Changing Science", a panel will look at the increasing emphasis on early detection of cancer, shifting incentives for oncologists, and how integrating billing codes, bundled payments and management fees can help decrease drug costs.
