Vision

A sustainable health system that delivers outcomes that matter to patients and the community, is personalised, invests in wellness and is digitally enabled.

In NSW, value based healthcare means continually striving to deliver care that improves:

  • health outcomes that matter to patients
  • experiences of receiving care
  • experiences of providing care
  • effectiveness and efficiency of care.

Considering value based healthcare at different levels

Individual

Am I providing care that delivers the outcomes and experiences that matter most to the patient?

Service

Are we using available resources optimally to improve outcomes?

System

Are we allocating resources and creating the environment that enables the best outcomes?

  • Integrated Care - statewide strategies to coordinate care and processes within the health system and with other service providers.
