The concept of 'value based health care' - where patient outcomes are monitored and health care services are funded on the basis of the quality of care, rather than the quantity of procedures - has been around for a couple of decades, but has yet to become the norm.

This podcast explores the potential benefits of a shift from 'volume' to 'value', to patients and to health care providers.

Guests:

Catherine MacLean, Chief Value Medical Officer at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Meni Styliadou, Founder and Co-lead of the Health Outcomes Observatory and VP Health Data Partnerships, Data Science Institute, Takeda (featured in episode artwork).
