ICHOM: The Global Movement to Measure What Matters

Session description

Across more than 47 countries, health systems are rethinking how they define and measure success in care. Instead of relying solely on processes and volumes, this growing global movement is focused on what truly matters to patients: outcomes, quality of life, and lived experiences.

In this engaging session, you’ll discover how patient-centered standardized outcome measurement—championed by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM)—is transforming care delivery around the world. Learn how clinicians, care teams, and health systems are using these measures to gain meaningful insights, improve patient outcomes, and drive real improvements in care.

Explore practical examples, emerging global trends, and how standardized outcomes can accelerate the transition to value-based healthcare while strengthening the connection between patients and the care they receive.
