Supporting Health Care Management

• Ministry of Health and RHA Performance

Agreements

Data based on CIHI data standards are used to

populate performance agreements between the MOH

and the RHAs

• Reference Based Drug Pricing in BC

CIHI data were used to evaluate the use of Reference

Drug Program (RDP). The evaluation indicated that

the use of RDP did not negatively affect health and

saved money

Looking Forward
