Australasian Forum: Catalysing the Value Agenda

by Jambavati McQuhae / Thursday, 01 June 2017 / Published in News

On 4 May 2017 Catriona Wilson, Integrated Care Manager attended the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) Australasion Forum in Sydney. Focussing on value-based health care and restructuring health systems to achieve real value for patients, this forum is led by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) alongside partners HCF and Ramsay Health Care.

ICHOM is a small non-profit organization founded by individuals from three esteemed institutions: Harvard University’s Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, The Boston Consulting Group and The Karolinska Institutet. ICHOM’s purpose is to transform health care systems worldwide by measuring and reporting patient outcomes in a standardized way.

This one-day forum provided a passionate case for shifting to a more transparent, value-based approach to health service delivery, payment and policy. National and International leaders in this field presented on the theory and practical applications of this approach along with their reflections about what concrete steps we can take to make this happen.
