Deep dives

The Case for Value-Based Healthcare

Value-based healthcare is increasingly being recognized as essential for improving patient care and outcomes. A significant point discussed is the contrast between the fee-for-service model, which prioritizes the volume of services rendered, and the value-based model, which focuses on patient outcomes and satisfaction. An illustrative example provided involves a meeting with a high-level operator in Southern Africa who was tasked with increasing hospital admissions; his response underscored a prevailing mentality that emphasizes filling beds over improving patient care. This mindset exemplifies the need for a shift towards value-based healthcare, which not only benefits patients but also enhances provider satisfaction and effectiveness.
