Poslovni forum: gospodarsko sodelovanje med Slovenijo in Srbijo

Inštitut za strateške rešitve (ISR) in Gospodarska zbornica Srbije skupaj z javno agencijo SPIRIT Slovenija 17. maja 2024 v Ljubljani organizirata poslovni forum na temo gospodarskega sodelovanja med Slovenijo in Srbijo. V sklopu foruma bodo sodelovala srbska in slovenska podjetja, ki delujejo v regiji.

V prvem delu bodo gostje izmenjali poglede na najpomembnejše gospodarske trende, ki vplivajo na sodelovanje, ter priložnosti za nadaljnjo gospodarsko sodelovanje med državama. Drugi panel bo namenjen trgovini.

V kontekstu sodelovanja med Slovenijo in Srbijo se izpostavlja potencialna korist za obe strani na področju dostopa do trga Evropske unije in izboljšanje cenovne konkurenčnosti. Medtem ko Slovenija zaradi že uveljavljene kapitalske osnove stremi k dodatnemu gospodarskemu napredku, Srbija v tej interakciji vidi priložnost za izgradnjo lastnega kapitalskega temelja. Slednje nakazuje na potencial za vzajemno koristno sodelovanje in razvoj obeh držav na področju poslovanja.

The title of the event was Emergency Call: Macrodynamics, Climate and Management Challenges.

HEALTH 2023 business conference

The Institute for Strategic Solutions (ISR) is once again the proud program partner of the HEALTH 2023 business conference, which is part of media house Delo’s Business Center. The event took place on 13th September 2023 on the Ljubljana premises of the co-organizer, the Chamber of Commerce of Slovenia.

The Business Conference Health 2023 provides insight into a modern, credible, and resilient healthcare system that adapts to the demands of today. At the heart of the event, we focused on the needs of patients and efficient management of limited resources. During the course of the business conference, we examined opportunities, best practices, and innovations shaping modern healthcare systems. We presented innovative solutions for sustainable and resilient healthcare systems and establish a platform for discussing complex issues and collectively shaping the future of Slovenian healthcare. We also discussed the judicious use of relevant data (at both primary and secondary levels) and the introduction of value-based healthcare. Our goal was to steer the conversation towards more effective treatment, improved access to high-quality and safe healthcare services, and strengthening the resilience of the healthcare system.

The program of the business conference was structured around two main thematic blocks:

  • Financing the Healthcare System
  • Upgrading the Healthcare System with Advanced Technologies

FINANCING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

We discussed planning and implementation of programs and resource management with selected speakers to ensure high quality and reliability throughout the entire system, healthcare programs, and services. Within the conference, we also focused on the importance of agility in healthcare organizations. The aim is for these organizations to become more responsive, adaptable, and capable of seizing opportunities in a rapidly changing and sometimes unpredictable ecosystem.

UPGRADING THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Progress in healthcare is not possible without technology and digitization. This section included experiences from foreign healthcare systems within the common European healthcare data space. The first part presented technological solutions for better treatment, increased access to healthcare services, and system resilience. The concluding discussion focused on the optimal healthcare system for Slovenia and learning from other systems and relevant stakeholders.


Poslovna konferenca ZDRAVJE 2023

Inštitut za strateške rešitve (ISR) je tudi letos ponosni programski partner poslovne konference ZDRAVJE 2023, ki je del Delovega poslovnega centra. Medijska hiša Delo je konferenco priredila 13. septembra 2023  v prostorih soorganizatorke, Gospodarske zbornice Slovenije v Ljubljani.

Poslovna konferenca Zdravje 2023 prinaša vpogled v sodoben, verodostojen in odporen zdravstveni sistem, ki se prilagaja zahtevam današnjega časa. V osrčje dogodka postavljamo potrebe pacientov in učinkovito upravljanje z omejenimi viri. Med potekom poslovne konference smo preučili priložnosti, najboljše pristope, prakse ter inovacije, ki oblikujejo sodobne zdravstvene sisteme. Predstavili smo inovativne rešitve za vzdržne in odporne zdravstvene sisteme ter vzpostavili platformo za izmenjavo mnenj o kompleksnih temah in skupno oblikovanje prihodnosti slovenskega zdravstva. Razpravljali smo tudi o smotrni uporabi relevantnih podatkov (na primarni in sekundarni ravni) ter uvedbi vrednostno usmerjenega zdravljenja. Naš cilj je usmeriti pogovor k bolj učinkovitemu zdravljenju, izboljšanemu dostopu do visokokakovostnih in varnih zdravstvenih storitev ter krepitvi odpornosti zdravstvenega sistema.

Program poslovne konference smo zastavili na dveh glavnih tematskih sklopih:

  • Financiranje zdravstvenega sistema
  • Nadgradnja zdravstvenega sistema z zmogljivimi tehnologijami

FINANCIRANJE ZDRAVSTVENEGA SISTEMA

Z izbranimi sogovorniki smo razpravljali o načrtovanju in izvajanju programov ter upravljanju sredstev, ki zagotavljajo visoko kakovost in zanesljivost na ravni celotnega sistema, zdravstvenih programov in storitev. V okviru konference smo se osredotočili tudi na pomen agilnosti v zdravstvenih organizacijah. Cilj je, da postanejo te organizacije bolj odzivne, prilagodljive in sposobne izkoristiti priložnosti v hitro spreminjajočem se ekosistemu, ki je lahko tudi nepredvidljiv.

NADGRADNJA ZDRAVSTVENEGA SISTEMA Z ZMOGLJIVIMI TEHNOLOGIJAMI

Brez tehnologije in digitalizacije ni napredka v zdravstvu. Sklop je vključeval izkušnje tujih zdravstvenih sistemov v skupnem evropskem zdravstvenem podatkovnem prostoru. Prvi del je predstavil tehnološke rešitve za boljše zdravljenje, večjo dostopnost do zdravstvenih storitev ter odpornost sistema. Zaključni pogovor se je osredotočil na optimalni zdravstveni sistem za Slovenijo in učenje iz drugih sistemov ter ustrezne deležnike.
