Between Caring and Sustaining: New Models in a Transforming Sector
The Home Care and Post-Acute Transition sector is experiencing a pivotal moment. The accelerated growth in demand, driven by population aging and hospital discharge trends, contrasts with an unstable macroeconomic environment marked by tax pressure, medical inflation, structural denials, increasing judicialization, and extended payment terms.
Additionally, external factors such as tax reforms, election years, regulatory fluctuations, social calendars, and political instabilities directly impact the financial predictability of companies. Many organizations face compressed margins, restructurings, and even judicial recovery — highlighting the structural vulnerability of the current model.
The challenge is no longer just about care. It has become economic, regulatory, and strategic.
“Between Caring and Sustaining” reflects the real tension in the sector: how to maintain care quality, clinical safety, and social responsibility in a scenario of systemic risk and macroeconomic pressure?
This congress proposes a mature and international debate on:
- Economic sustainability of care
- Taxation and its impacts on the sector
- International models of financing and post-acute transition
- Relationship with payers
- Governance, compliance, and regulation
- Operational efficiency and technology as a survival strategy
More than discussing challenges, the goal is to redesign viable paths for a sector essential to the healthcare system but urgently needing to revise its care and financial models.
The future of care depends on the ability to sustain the model.
