A. Value-Based Care
Three Components of Value-Based Care
Throughout this course, we learned about a few concepts that assist in improving
healthcare for patients, the IHI Triple Aim, the six domains of healthcare quality, and
value-based care frameworks. Patient-centered care involves organizing healthcare
around the needs and preferences of patients. This approach emphasizes active patient
involvement in their care, considering their values and preferences in decision-making.
According to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), patient-centered care is a
fundamental aspect of the Triple Aim framework, which aims to improve patient
experiences and outcomes while reducing costs (Berwick et al., 2008). Timeliness
refers to reducing delays in care and ensuring that patients receive appropriate services
promptly thereby improving access to care. McDonald and Schultz (2016) highlight the
significance of timeliness in care coordination and the impact of delays on patient
outcomes, reducing wait times is essential for improving timeliness in healthcare.
Efficiency involves delivering care that maximizes the use of resources while minimizing
waste. Variations in healthcare delivery and resource use point out that inefficiencies
can arise from the overuse or misuse of healthcare services. The work highlights the
need to improve resource use to enhance efficiency (Wennberg & Gittelsohn, 1973).
