Appropriate Value-Based Care

At TTSH, we are committed to bring value to you through meaningful health outcomes and cost-effective care.

What is Value?

Cambridge Dictionary defines value as: “The importance or worth of something for someone”

 

In our daily lives, we often make judgments about value. For example, when booking a hotel for a vacation, we think about how convenient the location is and what amenities are offered. We then consider these benefits in relation to our budget or how much we are willing to pay.

In healthcare, value is understood in a similar way. It involves balancing the health outcomes that matter to patients, such as recovery, safety, and quality of life, with the resources used to achieve them. In value-based care, we design around what matters most to you, while keeping care affordable and sustainable over time.

 

Why do we need to embark on Value-Based Care?

VBC-One
We are living longest but in poor health (Outcome).
VBC-Two
Growth in healthcare spending is unsustainable (Cost).
VBC-Three
Shortage of Health Workers to meet projected healthcare demand (Care).
