TRACK 1 – STRATEGIC

Scaling Innovation in the Wider Healthcare Sector: Accelerate while Ensuring Value for Money and Fit with Public Interest

Healthcare organizations often face slow adoption curves for technologies that have sound overall business cases, and that creates a significant opportunity cost to society. Key stakeholders need to collaborate to deliver better outcomes for citizens. Adopt best practices to:

  • Support the technology industry in engaging government on new technologies and the change management processes required to execute effectively (including the ongoing debate that, in healthcare, AI may challenge established norms for scaling innovation).
  • Enable pharmaceutical and MedTech sectors, which operate in highly regulated environments, to implement key approaches that accelerate innovation.
  • Leverage market research firms and pollsters to help governments understand public concerns and monitor change.
  • Model the international health systems where there have been notable successes in large-scale modernization efforts, including the Netherlands, the UK, and Australia.

Impact the outcomes of your health system by aligning with international successes and Canadian best practices.
