Around the world, providers, payers, physicians and private industry are working on innovative new ways to deliver ‘value-based healthcare’ that improves clinical outcomes while lowering overall costs. At Medtronic, we define value-based healthcare as an effort to develop and deploy products, services and integrated solutions that improve patient outcomes per dollar spent in the healthcare system by improving the quality of care and/or reducing the associated expense. Most importantly, the value derived from the quality of care isn’t determined at a specific point in time that focuses on transactional value. Instead, value is measured holistically over a longer time horizon and in ways that are meaningful to the patient. Everyone in the healthcare system has a role to play in this important shift. By working together, we can change healthcare for the better. Medtronic is actively working with leading healthcare thinkers and practitioners around the world to increase understanding of value-based approaches and advance this important dialogue. Recent efforts include: MEASURING COSTS AND OUTCOMES MEASURING OUTCOMES: THE KEY TO VALUE-BASED HEALTH CARE This Harvard Business Review webinar examines the ability to identify and use the right measurements to change our approach to treatment and costs, including risk sharing.
