AB  - Value-based healthcare (VBHC; delivering the best possible health outcomes for patients in a cost-efficient manner) has been a strategic priority among healthcare stakeholders for years. Pioneering providers embrace VBHC principles (such as organising care delivery around medical conditions, monitoring health outcomes and costs per patient group along the clinical pathway, and using those metrics to drive organisational improvements). Still, widespread adoption has been slow due to multiple factors, one of which is the sheer complexity of such a transformation. However, because of the urgent need for infection control during the COVID-19 pandemic, providers made unprecedented strides towards VBHC and achieved VBHC goals that were unattainable before. This article considers the barriers to adopting VBHC and shares best practices from an extensive knowledge base to advise providers on capitalising on the pandemic's momentum to implement value improvement quickly and efficiently.
