Value-based care, prioritizing patient outcomes over service volume, is steering a transformative course in anesthesiology in the United States. With the rise of this patient-centric approach, anesthesiologists are adopting dynamic roles to meet the demands of medical institutions, insurers, and patients for high-quality, cost-effective care. The urgency for this transition is accentuated by persistent challenges in reducing postoperative mortality rates and surgical complications, further spotlighted by the coronvirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Anesthesiologists engage in preoperative optimization, personalized care delivery, and evidence-based practices, bolstering their influence in the perioperative environment. Their collaboration with perioperative stakeholders propels the shift toward a value-driven healthcare landscape. This review analyzes the implementation of value-based care in American anesthesiology, assesses the significance of technology in enhancing its delivery, and outlines potential strategies for improving its application.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Phoenix Children's Hospital, Phoenix, Arizona. Electronic address:
Introduction: Pediatric liver transplantation provides substantial survival benefit. An emphasis on value-based practices has become a central theme in many surgical fields, but have not been well-studied in pediatric transplantation. Given an increasing focus on optimizing outcomes while containing costs, defining value in pediatric liver transplantation warrants investigation.

Purpose Of Review: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet systemic challenges, including geographic disparities, impede equitable access. This review evaluates transplant center activity and regional disparities using recent trends and discusses the potential of value-based care (VBC) models like the proposed Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) model to address these challenges.
Recent Findings: Analysis of Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data from 2021 to 2023 identified 185 of 322 transplant centers as potentially eligible for VBC inclusion.
Satisfied with the worst health outcomes or unsatisfied with the best: explaining the divergence between good patient-reported outcomes and low satisfaction and vice versa among knee arthroplasty patients - a retrospective cohort study.

Department of Performance, Neuroscience, Therapy, and Health, Institute of Interdisciplinary Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, Medical School Hamburg, University of Applied Sciences and Medical University, Am Kaiserkai 1, 20457, Hamburg, Germany.
Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage knee osteoarthritis but some patients exhibit a discrepancy between patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction (PS). This study aims to identify predictors for patients reporting unfavorable PROs but high PS and vice versa.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study categorized patients from nine German hospitals into four groups based on (i) whether they achieved a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in knee functionality, measured with a joint-specific PRO from admission to 12-month post-surgery; and (ii) whether they were satisfied at 12 months post-surgery.

The concept of value-based care (VBC) shifts the focus from volume to quality in healthcare. For nursing, this means focusing on patient outcomes, preventive care, and cost efficiency. This article discusses the critical role of nurses in VBC, particularly in coordinating care, improving patient satisfaction, and driving overall healthcare effectiveness and value.
