Bridging Clinical Outcomes and Value-Based Care: Real-World Implementation of ICHOM in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Bridging Clinical Outcomes and Value-Based Care: Real-World Implementation of ICHOM in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Date: 22 July 2026
Time: 10.00 BRASILIA | 14.00 BST | 15.00 CEST
Duration: 90 minutes

How can healthcare organizations move beyond measuring activity to measuring what truly matters to patients?

Join us for this free webinar featuring Hospital Evangélico de Vila Velha, a leading tertiary-level care institution in Brazil, as they share their experience implementing the ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Through a real-world case study, participants will gain insight into how standardized outcomes measurement can support better clinical decision-making, improve patient-centred care, and advance value-based healthcare.

Drawing on a retrospective cohort analysis of a high-risk cardiovascular population, the session will explore the measurement of clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), highlighting successes in data collection and early functional recovery. Speakers will also discuss practical challenges encountered during implementation, including declining long-term follow-up rates and the need for stronger patient engagement strategies. Attendees will learn how outcomes data can be translated into meaningful quality improvement initiatives, safer care pathways, and more informed organizational decision-making.

By attending this webinar, you will:

·      Understand how the ICHOM Set can be implemented in a real-world cardiac surgery program

·      Learn how clinical outcomes and PROMs can be used to assess and improve the value of care delivered

·      Explore strategies for integrating outcomes measurement into routine clinical practice

·      Gain insights into strengthening patient engagement and longitudinal follow-up

·      Discover how outcomes data can inform quality improvement, patient safety initiatives, and care pathway redesign

·      Identify practical opportunities to advance value-based healthcare within your own organization
