Creating a value-based, integrated health system in Australia
Thursday, June 3, 2021
1:00 PM – 5:30 PM (AEST)
On June 3 2021 PCHSS researchers and system partners took part in an online workshop on value-based care. The session involved unpacking the challenges to and opportunities for developing and implementing a health system that is based on providing value to patients, rather than focused on the volume of care provided. During the session, we examined how integrated care can contribute to a value-based system. The presenters drew on examples from some successfully implemented programs and discussed how to determine which health services should be scaled up (and which should be scaled down).
