The Annual Symposium, inaugurated in 1990 by the Greater New York Hospital Foundation and the United Hospital Fund, is held each year to foster collaboration on and understanding of current health care research in New York, build bridges among health services researchers and practitioners, and showcase the New York health services research community. The day-long Symposium provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to come together so that the communities may learn from each other and enhance the work that each community performs on a day-to-day basis. The Symposium is designed to showcase research concerning a wide array of health policy and management-related topics of interest to administrators, clinicians, and health policymakers in New York.
The Symposium opens with a presentation by a prominent keynote speaker and features concurrent morning sessions on selected topics of interest in the industry. In the afternoon, concurrent roundtable sessions allow for an interactive discussion between leading researchers and practitioners with audience members on a specific health policy topic.
A lunchtime poster session highlights research and evaluation findings relevant to the everyday concerns of health care managers, clinicians and allows for an opportunity for health services researchers and practitioners to directly interact and share their ideas. A Call for Posters is released in order to gather posters, which are reviewed for submission to the Symposium.
