The annual conference is PCSI’s primary event where case mix researchers, analysts, government officials, etc. gather to discuss the latest in case mix. The annual conference provides an opportunity for participants to share and learn the latest in case-mix concepts from their peers through oral and poster presentation sessions, while also allowing an informal meeting of the minds of individuals from around the world. The annual conference not only provides a learning opportunity but also a socializing opportunity with friends and colleagues from around the globe.
PCSI 2012 will focus on the issues at the forefront of the health system—case mix, assessment quality, and funding. In the traditional spirit of PCSI events, this conference will once again provide opportunities for inspiring scientific work alongside unique social engagements. We are excited to have the PCSI Conference in the beautiful Palais des Papes (the Popes Palace), a historical palace in Avignon, located in the South of France. It is one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe and has been classified along with the historic center of Avignon, as a UNESCO Word Heritage Site.

PCSI 2011 focused on the issues at the forefront of the health system—case mix, assessment and funding. In the traditional spirit of PCSI events, this conference will once again provide opportunities for inspiring scientific work alongside unique social engagements. For the very first time, the PCSI Conference was held in historic Montréal, Canada. Famous for its Underground City, award-winning architecture, exceptional shopping and cuisine, unique geography and distinct culture and festivals, Canada’s top host city for international events will serve as the perfect backdrop for the 2011 event.
The theme was sharing experiences of different case-mix systems and applications. The conference focused on ideas, methods and solutions on using case-mix for measuring not only resource consumption but also outcomes and quality, including discussing what we get for the money we put into the healthcare system.
This year’s theme “Case mix: a common language for health sector innovation” will focus on several applications of case mix, including application of principles for funding, regional health planning, evaluation of clinical quality, and evaluation method of innovation of medical technology.
This year's theme "Case mix beyond funding: contributions for health policy" has an essentially exploratory purpose. Its aim is to enable participants to identify, define and acknowledge the significance of patients' classifications systems issues in the shaping of health policy around the globe. The conference will focus on issues related to case mix and health care system funding, costing in health economics evaluation, case mix and evidence based medicine and case mix and health planning.
