Description:
Incentivize multidisciplinary research teams and their healthcare and innovation partners to design, adopt, and evaluate interventions implemented into a healthcare delivery organization that enhance value-based care, health system sustainability, and health outcomes.
Support innovative process transformations that improve health outcomes and value for Canada’s healthcare investment.
Optimal Health System design to support fiscal and clinical efficiencies
What models of care in other jurisdictions have been effective in improving health outcomes, individual experience of care, reducing per capita costs and inequities? Such as accountable care style organizations, where a network of doctors and hospitals share responsibility for providing care to patients or provincial /localized models
How to improve transitions to and from hospitals and facilities to community based primary health care and community supports?
The spread and scale up of interventions that support population health improvement and reduction of health inequities. This could involve the scale up of successful projects that have worked on a smaller scale such as translating research in elder care in personal care homes.
To engage and evaluate the impact of patients as partners in health system redesign.
Performance management and economic evaluation to measure efficiency and effectiveness
Explore funding mechanisms and payment systems that meet patient needs, reduce barriers to collaboration and endeavour to fund the optimal mix of providers and/or organizations for the complexity of care provided.
Support the development of data and methods to support identification of cost effective programs to inform decisions, planning, resource allocation, program evaluation, and impact assessment. For example, economic evaluation methodologies such as cost effectiveness and return on investment analysis or role of surveillance across the continuum.
Redesign of community care to support continuity of care and reduced health system utilization
Determine how to best optimize service integration and coordination across community primary health care services with special attention to underserved or structurally disadvantaged populations and patients with complex needs. Populations of interest include Indigenous peoples, elderly and again adults, infants and children, new Canadians and individuals living in rural and remote communities.
Develop tools and capabilities to support Manitobans (and their health care providers) better manage their health, wellness and treatment.
Mental Health and Addictions services to support improved outcomes
Explore interprofessional models that integrate health and social services and physical and mental health care to improve coordination along the continuum of services from health promotion to management, treatment and acute care services.
Redesign of mental health and addictions services to support access to mild to moderate mental health services in primary care settings
