Session description
Canada’s healthcare system is facing increasing pressure from long surgical wait times, workforce shortages, and rising costs — challenges further intensified by an aging population. Value-based healthcare (VBHC) offers a promising path forward by shifting the focus toward improving patient outcomes while optimizing the use of resources. Successfully adopting this approach requires more than intent — it depends on strong data capabilities and deliberate change management.
This QI Power Hour session examines how integrated data solutions can support the transition to value-based healthcare by linking patient-reported indicators, quality indicators, and total care pathway costs. It also explores the importance of standardized, transparent outcome reporting to enable informed decision-making and continuous improvement across clinical and operational teams.
In this session, we:
- Explore the core principles of value-based healthcare
- Discover how this model is implemented through case studies that demonstrate its impact
- Learn how data, technology, and innovation are helping to build an integrated, patient-centred, and sustainable healthcare system
Dive into practical examples that illustrate how data, technology, and organizational leadership can translate value-based healthcare principles into measurable impact.
