From the drawing board to the ward: Making value-based healthcare work

In principle, value-based healthcare is a no-brainer. Patient and provider spend goes down, outcomes and efficiencies go up. You would be hard pressed to find anyone to disagree with that methodology.\r\nBut, like all such principles, the delivery is a little more complex. Defining value is fraught with nuance. Patients also have the pesky habit of being individuals, with unique needs, genetics and circumstances, further complicating both the value equation and the process. \r\nThe shift from fee-for-service to value-based might be tricky, but it is possible. When the stars align just right, and the transition is carefully managed, value-based healthcare can create real impact, on both patients and systems.\r\nHear from selected real-life examples, from across Europe and the US, where value-based healthcare has gone from the drawing board to the ward.
