There exists a mismatch between what is possible and what is permissible. Healthcare models in Canada\u2019s peer countries have adapted and are providing better and more efficient care, in part because their healthcare systems are more flexible and allow for greater local innovation.<\/p>\n

While the trend is moving in a positive direction, barriers continue to occur, sometimes out of nowhere. Even looking beyond revenue generation, with improved governance models, local healthcare providers can innovate to save money and provide improved care.<\/p>\n

In Quebec, there are perhaps some unique challenges, but there are also some creative solutions and important initiatives being developed and implemented.<\/p>\n

Key Session Takeaways Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Why and how Provincial and Federal Governments need to work decentralize and open up new opportunities without ministerial barriers<\/li>\n
  • The meaning of innovation, and overcoming blocks to implementation for improving healthcare revenue and cost containment \u2013 in addition to improved care<\/li>\n
  • Why innovation needs to be streamlined with fewer levels of review, to be timely, effective and scalable<\/li>\n
  • What individual organization can do to innovate and build revenue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Why This and Why Now?<\/p>\n

          In the rapidly evolving landscape of Canadian healthcare, the power of collaboration and innovation has become increasingly crucial. This panel brings together a diverse group of health system experts from across Canada to explore the transformative potential and inherent challenges of integrating innovation into our publicly funded healthcare system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

          As we enter a new era of healthcare in Canada, hospitals and health authorities face unprecedented opportunities and complex hurdles. This session will delve into how these institutions can effectively respond to the changing dynamics, leveraging collaborative approaches to drive meaningful innovation while navigating the intricacies of public funding and regulatory frameworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

          Our distinguished panel represents a cross-section of health leaders from various regions and sectors of Canada’s healthcare system. They will share insights on successful collaborations that have already yielded positive outcomes, unpacking the key drivers that enabled these achievements. By examining these case studies, we aim to identify replicable strategies and best practices that can be adapted across different healthcare settings.<\/p>\n

          The discussion will focus on several critical areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • The role of public-private partnerships in accelerating healthcare innovation and it\u2019s effect on bottom line hospital finances<\/li>\n

              The financial challenges BC faces are similar to most jurisdictions. The requirement to move beyond the single financing model is becoming more apparent, and while there are guardrails in what can be accomplished, there are many viable options if you are thinking creatively.<\/p>\n

              Fraser Health has embarked on many fronts and shows some successes. They are still in the early stages of most of their initiatives, but by taking a long-term, considered approach, there is a great opportunity on the horizon.<\/p>\n
