About the Value in Health Forum

19 January 2017
Edmonton, Alberta

The Value in Health Invitational Forum: Standards, Quality, and Economics was intended to provide an overview from provincial, national, and international leaders around key issues to consider and address from a system perspective when developing an approach to extract value from a complex health system. The concept of system organization for a) development of standards, b) accountability arrangements and roles, and c) approaches to measure and extract value (funding, improvement programs) with consideration of impact on front line practices and macroeconomic outcomes, was also discussed at the Forum.

The objectives of the Forum were to:

• engage with provincial stakeholders around the provincial system agenda to achieve better value for investment in the system;
• provide an opportunity for shared learning and provincial reflection on lessons from international and national experts for application in Alberta; and,
• highlight and showcase provincial initiatives underway and emerging opportunities to coordinate system standard setting, quality improvement strategies, value assessment and monitoring.
