Event Overview
Advancing Digitally Enabled Patient-Centric Systems
As health systems worldwide brace for the pandemic’s next curveball, we are faced with impossible choices about how to rebuild once the chaos subsides. Canada’s total healthcare spending will hit $308 billion in 2021, according to recent estimates by the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI); almost 90% was due to pandemic-related funding.
While spending growth will slow post-COVID, the pressure on our nation’s health system will not. Budget deficits are expected for the foreseeable future, long waitlists for medical procedures are now longer, and the aging population in Canada will cause healthcare costs to grow substantially. These pressures mean that it’s even more critical to share best practices, collaborate, and benchmark to solve problems.
Join the leading healthcare professionals in the public service when they convene at the Public Sector Network’s Healthcare Roadshow 2022 to share their key learnings and initiatives to advance digitally enabled, patient-centric healthcare.
