Conference tackles healthcare transformation in Canada

The theme was a far-reaching one: nothing less than the development of a strategic framework for transformational change in Canadian healthcare. The Managing a Canadian Healthcare Strategy conference, the third in an annual series, attracted more than 150 Canadian and international participants at senior levels in healthcare, government, business and academia in May.

Attendees discussed such issues as the use of big data and technology to drive healthcare system improvement and collaboration by healthcare jurisdictions on developing a Canadian healthcare scorecard.

QSB’s Monieson Centre for Business Research in Healthcare used the occasion to unveil a new book, Toward a Healthcare Strategy for Canadians (McGill-Queen’s Press), which is the product of last year’s Creating Strategic Change in Canadian Healthcare conference.
