Message from the Academic Chair The future of healthcare will be led by health systems that harness data to create the intangible services, technologies and business models to improve the health of global populations. Technologies that transform health system’s rich data into knowledge will empower predictive and proactive analytical tools that ensure the best health outcomes for every citizen. The road to economic growth in Canada is paved by innovations that transform health systems of today, focused on managing illness and disease, to those of tomorrow that proactively identify health risks and signal interventions to support citizens to stay healthy. WIN engages the expertise of data-rich health systems, entrepreneurial companies, policy makers and academia to create evidence-based results to attain peak performance and economic growth. WIN’s value-based procurement research closes a crucial gap in the innovation and commercialization cycle enabling innovative companies to accelerate market access and scale innovative solutions in health systems. Our research into transformational supply chain infrastructure, embedded in clinical care environments, enables the tracking and traceability of care processes and products linked to individual patient outcomes. Our seminal research provides the qualitative and quantitative evidence to achieve significant cost savings while improving health system performance and safety. Mobilizing health information to support the design, implementation and scalability of datapowered health technologies creates the pipeline of next generation products capable of transforming healthcare delivery.

Supply Chain Transformation
`
Advancing supply chain infrastructure to enable traceability of products and processes from manufacturers to patient outcomes
Building the Evidence to See Above the Clouds Fundamental to WIN’s research is a unique collaboration model connecting industry, health systems, policy makers, academia and patients. Our capacity to broker these essential relationships contributes to developing innovative solutions that solve current problems and can be rapidly scaled to achieve health system transformation. Three ground-breaking supply chain case studies in Alberta Health Services, Canada, National Health Service, England and Mercy Health, U.S., provided the evidence of value and impact of supply chain adoption in health systems. To achieve these results, strong and bold leadership and engagement of clinicians are required for successful implementation of supply chain infrastructure to improve health system performance. Data derived through traceability from manufacturer, to patient care processes and outcomes can be mined to inform clinician best practice and improve health outcomes.
Global health systems are embracing innovation to solve current problems. Our health systems no longer need to be viewed as cost centres but rather as economic drivers. This shift in thinking translates into new bodies of research, industries and capacity in our health systems. Through development of realworld evidence of the value and impact of scaling innovation in our health systems, WIN is building an essential and new foundation of knowledge. By creating and widely disseminating the guides and legends to rapidly scale innovation, our new and emerging leaders can see above the clouds and amplify the impact to improve healthcare quality, sustainability and drive economic growth.
Our research with leading organizations creates the real-world evidence of the impact and
value of health system transformation through supply chain traceability. Click on the links below to learn more about our research.
