Networking Lunch
at The Vineyard, Cape Town

27th March 2025
11:30 – 14:30 SAST

WHAT WE WILL DISCUSS

Join us for a thought-provoking roundtable discussion, where healthcare leaders will delve into critical areas such as increasing efficiency, improving patient outcomes, and achieving operational excellence to enhance hospital performance.

We will examine how hospitals can streamline operations and reduce costs through evidence-based clinical decision-support tools. We’ll also explore the role of UpToDate and UpToDate LexiDrug in advancing clinical outcomes and patient safety by enabling precise, fast, and safe point-of-care decisions.

Additionally, we will discuss the time-saving benefits of these solutions in clinical settings and how these efficiencies contribute to higher utilization rates, allowing clinicians to treat more patients and optimize healthcare resources. The conversation will also cover broader economic and market implications, including the influence of economic development, healthcare spending per capita, and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. We’ll delve into the costs associated with unwanted variations in care delivery and the importance of reliable evidence-based information in reducing medical errors and enhancing the quality of care.

The roundtable will culminate with a lively Q&A, promoting the exchange of experiences and shared learning among the participants.
