Healthcare professionals across the world are facing increasing pressure because of rising need and demand and stagnant/decreasing resources. Hellish Decisions in Healthcare, now in its third year, is a forum designed to help healthcare professionals navigate the complex and Hellish Decisions they need to make to ensure they deliver the best value to the patients and populations they are accountable to. Please join us on January 12-13 at the University of Oxford to learn from and interact with healthcare professionals who have faced problems similar to yours and have used a variety of innovative approaches and strategies to make their Hellish Decisions.
Further reading:
Although tremendous progress has been made over the last forty years, health services still face five outstanding problems no matter how they are structured or funded:
- Unwarranted variation in access, quality, cost and outcome, and this reveals the other four
- Patient harm, even when the quality of are is high
- Waste, that is anything that does not add value to the outcome for patients or uses resources that could give greater value if used for another group of patients
- Inequity, and
- Failure to prevent the diseases that healthcare can prevent, stroke in atrial fibrillation for example.
In addition to these problems, over the past several years and into the foreseeable future, healthcare services have to cope with rising need and demand without additional resources.
To maintain health services globally and continue improving the health ofthe populations we serve, there is an urgent need to transform health services to focus on triple value:
- Personalised value, the delivery of services informed by what matters to the individual
- Technical value, determined by how well resources are used within services for each purpose
- Allocative value, determined by how the assets are allocated to services for different purposes.
Hellish Decisions in Healthcare is designed as a space for healthcare leaders, professionals and researchers within the international healthcare community to shape healthcare policy and systems to deliver Triple Value.
The decisions and strategies needed to deliver Triple Value will not always be immediately apparent and nor will they be easy to make; the Value in Healthcare Forum is a safe place where these strategies can be developed and where strategic discussions can be had with the key thought and implementation leaders in healthcare.
There will be sessions on:
Personal Value
Technical Value
Allocative Value
Unwarranted Variation
Overuse
Prevention
Integration of Health & Social Care Services.
