Healthcare Management Forum letter-to-the editor: Value-based procurement

Value-based procurement: The tip of the iceberg

Dear Editor-In-Chief,

We applaud Prada’s investigation of value-based procurement, and her advocacy for improving health sector procurement practices.­1 Indeed, the Canadian health sector’s enormous size translates into significant purchasing power. For example, in 2014/15, Ontario hospitals purchased over $5.45 billion worth of goods and services.2 Yet, while there may be opportunities to improve the sector’s ability to access innovative treatments, we encourage Prada and the Conference Board’s Council for Innovation Procurement in Health Care to broaden their understanding of the issues and opportunities arising in health sector procurement. In their pursuit of “value” there is no mention of the opportunities for procurement to promote health, rather than just treat illness and injury. Nor is value-based healthcare framed in terms sufficiently broad enough to encompass the influence the sector’s buying practices have on social, environmental and economic sustainability. We argue the health sector can, and should, take a leadership role in addressing these issues and embracing these opportunities.
