CREATING VALUE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PATIENTS

Value for patients is created at the local level, by the combined efforts of providers in partnership with patients. Clinician and organisational leadership have been identified as critical factors in successfully shifting to value-based approaches to care. Defining patient groups or population segments, and mapping their healthcare journey is an important first step to get a shared understanding of the patient experience by everyone involved in the care cycle. Experience-based co-design is important for services considering the patient’s healthcare journey, and shared decision-making important for clinicians working with individual patients in clinical practice.
