Join us for QI Power Hour on March 27 to learn how clinicians, care teams, and health systems are using standardized outcome measures to accelerate the transition to value-based healthcare while strengthening the connection between patients and the care they receive.

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 focusing on what truly matters to patients: outcomes, quality of life, and lived experiences.

Canada’s healthcare system is facing increasing pressure. Value-based healthcare shifts our focus toward improving patient outcomes while optimizing the use of resources.

Join us on January 23 to examine how integrated data solutions can support the transition to value-based health care by linking patient-reported indicators, quality indicators, and total care pathway costs.

Explore the core principles of value-based healthcare, discover how it’s implemented through case studies, and learn how data, technology, and innovation are working together to build an integrated system.
