Value-based health services
How can we organize healthcare services that contribute to good health, quality of life and efficient use of resources?
Today's healthcare services are not sustainable. We need healthcare services that help to reduce social health inequalities and at the same time ensure predictable and stable access to personnel, resources and expertise. This focus area will work with knowledge and technology development to contribute to health services that are resource-efficient and sustainable, and where the concept of value includes what is of value to patients, relatives, society, nature and the environment.
Today's healthcare system is highly complex and results in fragmented healthcare services and patient pathways. An interdisciplinary approach is required to develop models for collaboration, organization and management of health services, and to find holistic patient pathways across specialist and primary healthcare.
Against the backdrop of the digitization of the health service, the interaction between technology and services will require interdisciplinary models for change management and organizational development in the health sector, and there will be a need for knowledge about how patient-centered technology can realize values related to better health and quality of life.
