Description
This policy round will describe the research and policy implications of a new systematic review and meta-analysis of the global evidence produced from 1980-2012 on activity-based funding (ABF) in hospitals. Join us for a discussion on the policy implications related to ABF, including issues like increased pressure on post-acute care services, related to shortened length of stay expected under ABF.
We will also examine the real-world, intended and unintended consequences of the policies and the implications. Do patients experience improved quality of care and safety? Is the health system equipped to meet the population needs using this model? How should health policy adapt to provide the best care possible for Canadians? Our experienced speakers and panel will answer these questions and more!
