With healthcare costs continuing to rise, traditional volume-based systems urgently need to be replaced with patient-centric, outcomes-focused value-based healthcare (VBHC). By working with all stakeholders – including physicians, payers, providers, patients, industry partners, policymakers and governmental healthcare bodies – the adoption of VBHC will lead to a more globally sustainable and healthier population.
“The ambition of VBHC is to provide patients with a holistic care programme that includes consultation, diagnostics and treatments personalised for the patient. Physicians would be compensated not on specific services but on positive health outcomes,” said Cindy Perettie, Head of Molecular Lab, Customer Area, Roche Diagnostics.
