Can a population health management strategy from the US be applied in Sweden?
The US has one of the most expensive healthcare systems in the world. How did one of the leading health organizations shift from volume to value based care in order to achieve better health, better care and more affordable costs?
Utökad information om evenemangetOne of the leading healthcare providers in the US has embarked on a mission to achieve three important goals. How can value based care contribute to achieving better health, better care and more affordable costs? Three core elements in their population health management strategy have been key in the shift from volume to value based care: 1. Evidence based care. Patients have better outcomes with fewer readmissions or complications. Utilizing evidence based solutions such as TeleHealth and integrated medical records result in better outcomes. 2. Engaged patients. Patients are at the center of care and included in all decisions. Education, shared decision-making tools, personalized care and mobile communication empower patients. 3. Financial reward based on quality of care. Providers and healthcare organizations should be rewarded based on quality of care, not volume of care. Can this population health management strategy be applied in Sweden to secure a sustainable healthcare system?
