Do Health Services in Canada Measure the Outcomes That Matter to Patients? A Value-Based Healthcare Perspective
Details
Shannon will begin with an objective to define value from the perspective of patients through a value based healthcare lens and describe various health system perspectives on value and cost. Next, Shannon will describe how value based health care focuses on achieving health outcomes that matter within groups of patients with shared health conditions, presentations and/or needs and reflect on the terminology “patient-oriented or patient-important’ outcomes. Further exploration of measures in health care delivery at micro, meso and macro levels and in research will follow with examples. Finally, a commentary on what the Canadian healthcare system (with examples) and researchers could and should do to incorporate outcome measures as a means to monitor and improve value for patients and for the health system.
