  • The core idea of value-based health care emphasizes high-quality, patient-centered care that aims to improve health outcomes while reducing costs.
  • Collaborative decision-making frameworks have been created to enhance patient involvement in their care preferences, but the existing model tends to prioritize population health over individual needs.
  • The text underscores the necessity of integrating patient preferences into decision-making processes and introduces a conceptual framework that accounts for these individual preferences when assessing value in health care.

Article Abstract

The main tenet of value-based health care is delivering high-quality care that is centered on the patient, improving health, and minimizing cost. Collaborative decision-making frameworks have been developed to help facilitate delivering care based on patient preferences (patient-centered care). The current value-based health care model, however, focuses on improving population health and overlooks the individuality of patients and their preferences for care. We highlight the importance of eliciting patient preferences in collaborative decision making and describe a conceptual framework that incorporates individual patients' preferences when defining value.
