Les patients redéfinissent l’avenir des soins de santé au Canada, Rapport Sommaire 2020
Ongoing barriers and systemic issues experienced by patients in Canada have become starkly clear in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This virtual Summit shared information on the state of health and health care for different populations and how COVID-19 has impacted population health as well as specific policy issues facing Indigenous communities, older adults, populations living with mental health issues, and people experiencing income insecurity.
In addition, the Summit updated attendees on the progress of value-based health care (VBHC) projects in Canada. The Summit continued to focus on shifting toward a value-based approach to health care in Canada that improves value to patients, particularly as we move toward ongoing mitigation and eventual recovery from the pandemic.
