Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Health systems today are under pressure to optimize the use of limited resources as they face increasing demand, mainly from aged patients with multiple chronic conditions and rising costs associated with technological developments. 

Value-based healthcare (VBHC) has been proposed as a strategy to tackle these challenges. This Special Issue is dedicated to VBHC and seeks evaluative studies that demonstrate the benefits of this approach to transform healthcare delivery with improved outcomes for patients and better use of resources. Implementation research studies are also welcome. 

Submitted manuscripts should be well-grounded in theory and need to persuasively demonstrate both practical relevance and substantial contributions to the scientific knowledge base.
