Submit your scientific abstract for presentation at the 2025 ICHOM Conference, the premier global event showcasing the latest advancements in value-based healthcare. We invite submissions from all healthcare stakeholders: researchers and academics, evaluators and regulatory authorities, policy makers, the healthcare industry, service providers and patient and public engagement organisations. This international event will delve into fundamental topics related to value-based healthcare, encompassing key areas, including:
2025 Categories are as follows;
This category is for abstracts that demonstrate how PROMs have been used to measure patient outcomes and how changes in care have led to improved outcomes. This category also includes abstracts focused on the creation and testing of patient-centered metrics for enhancing patient outcomes.
This category is for abstracts that highlight approaches that empower patients to actively participate in their care, ensuring their values and preferences are integrated into clinical decisions, and enhancing patient knowledge, ultimately improving outcomes and patient satisfaction. This segment celebrates projects that highlight co-creation of implementation projects and evidence of impact on shared decision-making, patient activation, and sustained patient engagement across stakeholder sectors.
This category is for abstracts that focus on how AI, digital tools, platforms, and healthcare analytics have been used to enhance patient care, streamline implementation and care delivery pathways and processes, and inform decision-making to drive more efficient and effective healthcare solutions.
This category is for abstracts that demonstrate innovative policy approaches or payment models that promote value-based care, drive improvements in healthcare efficiency, and address the challenges of aligning incentives with patient-centered outcomes. Abstracts that showcase national strategies, essential policy initiatives that create incentives or regulatory expectation for VBHC implementation are sought.
This category is for abstracts that focus on strategies, interventions, or research aimed at reducing disparities related to race, socioeconomic status, and other social determinants of health. It includes efforts to address unmet needs and advance VBHC models in under-resourced communities, with the goal of ensuring more equitable and effective healthcare delivery to populations facing barriers to quality care.
This category is for abstracts focusing on approaches that balance improved patient outcomes with cost-efficiency, demonstrating how value-based care models can enhance both quality and sustainability in healthcare systems. Abstracts that demonstrate incorporation of outcomes measurement in value-based payment strategies are welcome.
This category is for abstracts that describe the methods used in implementing VBHC, the challenges encountered, key considerations taken, and the strategies that led to successfully overcoming those obstacles. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the journey of implementing standardized outcomes measurement in practice and defining the critical components and actions for sustained implementation.
This category invites abstracts that explore how collaboration between healthcare providers – locally, nationally, and internationally – along with the use of benchmarking data, has led to the identification of best practices, enhanced performance, and the successful implementation of evidence-based improvements in healthcare delivery.
Abstract submissions are specifically asked to highlight the use and impact of integrating ICHOM patient-centered outcome measure sets (Sets) into your work and/or organization.
