Dear Readers,<\/p>\n
As CEO of the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l\u2019Ile-de-Montr\u00e9al and Chair of the Strategic Advisory Committee for the Hippocrates Award, I would like to share with you our vision of value creation in health and social services\u2014a vision that guides us as we review the submissions for the Hippocrates Award.<\/p>\n
I am also pleased to launch, with this message, the Hippocrates Award newsletter series, which will keep you informed over the coming months about the progress of recognized projects, their impacts, and, where applicable, their transferability.<\/p>\n
The strength of the network lies in the dedicated and creative individuals who, on the front lines, work tirelessly to provide the right care and services, at the right time, in the right place, by the right person, and with the right outcome. This is what truly adds value to our system. In value-based care, healthcare providers are rewarded for helping patients improve their health, reduce the effects and incidence of chronic diseases, and live healthier lives\u2014all in a way that is evidence-based. Value-based care differs from fee-for-service, where providers are paid based on the quantity of health services they provide. In value-based healthcare, the term \u201cvalue\u201d stems from the measurement of health outcomes, which must be significant to patients relative to the cost incurred in delivering those outcomes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn healthcare, just as in information technology, we have moved from an era where everything was generally managed as in a very local, personalized business, to a model where work is carried out by experts in centralized facilities maintained at great expense. The trend has reversed, and we are returning to a decentralized system. Healthcare delivery is evolving alongside the rapid development of technology that can be used by more people in more places. The democratization of medical and information technology requires doctors and specialists working in medical centers to reimagine their roles and recognize the growing expertise of their colleagues and patients. Health is increasingly becoming a personal responsibility.”<\/em> (Patients Matter Most, Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg)<\/p>\n The goal of the Hippocrates Award is to help stakeholders in health and social services establish connections between the various pillars, for example between parallel developments in technology and the delivery of healthcare. These connections lead to inevitable changes that affect us all, everywhere in the world.<\/p>\n The Hippocrates Award is intended to be a showcase through which our collective innovation can be presented, shared, and, where appropriate, scaled up to benefit as many people as possible, including both system users and healthcare providers.<\/p>\n Innovation emerges where there is an unmet need. And who is better positioned than the stakeholders closest to the public to identify and understand these needs?<\/p>\n We hope that the Hippocrates Award will serve to energize and inspire healthcare professionals who think differently and who know there is a better path to take.<\/p>\n Thank you for joining us and encouraging your colleagues to subscribe to our newsletter; this is how we can keep you updated on our projects as well as developments regarding the 2024 Hippocrates Award.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Dr Lawrence Rosenberg<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Readers, As CEO of the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l\u2019Ile-de-Montr\u00e9al and Chair of the Strategic Advisory Committee for the Hippocrates Award, I would like to share with you our vision of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6891,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-non-classe"],"yoast_head":"\n
