Transforming Healthcare: A Scoping Review of the Significance of Value-Based Healthcare

Value-based healthcare (VBHC) is supplanting the traditional volume-based healthcare paradigm in healthcare systems. In the healthcare industry, value creation focuses on the health outcomes that individuals and institutions achieve while maintaining an optimal cost-benefit ratio. This scoping review aimed to determine the essential components and results of VBHC implementation.

A scoping review was conducted using the patient, intervention, and outcome model. PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched using a combination of keywords. The search results were then subjected to a step-by-step screening protocol to identify the related studies and extract data.

The initial database search identified 3055 studies. After removing duplicates, 1920 studies were eligible for title/abstract screening. Abstract/title screening identified 268 studies, of which 115 studies were selected for full-text screening. Fifteen studies were selected for the scoping review after full-text screening. Analysis revealed that 73% of studies reported improved interdisciplinary collaboration, 67% demonstrated enhanced patient-centered care approaches, and 60% showed measurable cost reductions. Key implementation factors included strong leadership (identified in 87% of studies), patient involvement (reported in 80% of studies), and integrated care units (implemented in 73% of studies). All studies agreed on the importance of VBHC in improving patient care quality and reducing costs.

VBHC can help improve the overall healthcare experience. The VBHC model is a promising strategy to enhance healthcare effectiveness and long-term viability; however, successful implementation requires careful attention to organizational factors and stakeholder engagement.
