Value-based health care

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Value-based health care (VBHC) is a framework for restructuring health care systems with the overarching goal of value for patients, with value defined as health outcomes per unit of costs.[1] The concept was introduced in 2006 by Michael Porter and .[2] With patient value as the overarching goal, VBHC emphasis systematic measurement of outcomes and costs, restructuring provider organizations, and transitioning toward bundled payments.[2] Within this framework, cost reduction alone is not seen as proper strategy for healthcare systems: health outcomes have to improve to enhance value.[3][4] Although value-based health care is seen as a priority in many health systems worldwide, a global assessment in 2016 found many countries are only beginning to align their health systems with VBHC-principles.[5][6] Additionally, several studies report incoherent implementation efforts, and there seem to be various interpretations of VBHC, both within and across countries.[7][8]

Description[]

In a value-based care model, providers would work with patients to determine a treatment plan, then measure the relevant clinical results over the course of the patient's treatment.[3][9][4]

While patient satisfaction is often conflated with value-based care, satisfaction is predicated on the patient's experience of treatment, rather than its medical effectiveness.[4] Likewise, cost reduction is a component of this model--for example, by making healthcare cost information more readily available to patients--but it is not the primary goal.[3]
