The Health Foundation and ICHOM are among the many stakeholders calling for an evolution of how we look at value in healthcare. Four trends emerging from their pledge focusing on how a more holistic assessment of value in healthcare can be achieved are outlined in the infographic above and also summarised below:
Patient Centred Outcomes
Currently most health appraisals focus on individual clinical outcomes that are largely designed from the point of view of healthcare providers, regulators and payers. It is important to assess the merit of an intervention through a set of patient-centered results aiming at a more comprehensive depiction of a persons health
An Open Health System with Society at its Core
Recognition of the Ultimate Goal of Wellbeing of Patients

Value assessments should include social and economic dimensions at the individual and collective level
