Call for Abstracts – Innovations Showcase

Are you a health care professional, program leader, researcher or student with new practices, innovative programs, research findings or technologies to share?

We invite you to submit abstracts for ‘Rapid Podium’ presentations (10 minutes) or brief communication in the format of ‘Research & Clinical Snapshots’ (5 minutes). Presentations are welcome on both research and clinical initiatives.

Rapid Podium Presentations
A 10-minute presentation is meant to allow for a more comprehensive description of an innovation with results of some evaluation to share. This presentation should include maximum 8-10 slides.

Research and Clinical Snapshots
This 5 minute presentation is meant to be a brief summary of a new or ongoing initiative.
This presentation should include 3-4 slides that provide the following information:

  • Some background to the topic, issue or opportunity being addressed through the innovation
  • The activity, solution, or resource developed to address the problem, issue or opportunity
  • Preliminary results if available OR resource information where audience can find out more

Abstract guidelines
Abstracts are not to exceed 250 words (excluding title and authors) and should include the following information:

  • Type of presentation: Indicate the format you would prefer (rapid podium or snapshot)
  • Title
  • Authors and affiliations
  • Background: brief description of the problem or issue being addressed
  • Methods: describe how your study was performed or how you have developed or evaluated your new practice or program
  • Results: describe the key findings

Authors must declare any conflict of interest including any financial interest in the subject matter being presented.

Those not successful in securing a Rapid Podium presentation may be offered to present their abstract as a Research and Clinical Snapshot.

Abstract submission
Abstracts will be anonymized, judged by a review committee, and will be chosen based on:

  • The relevance to the conference objectives

  • Practical application/relevance to a broad range of settings by healthcare professionals, researchers or managers
  • Scientific merit.
