DESCRIPTION:
In a world in which healthcare systems are under immense strain – rising costs, clinician burnout, unequal patient outcomes – "Implementing Value-Based Healthcare: An insider’s guide to improving patient outcomes and creating sustainable systems" offers a pragmatic, deeply human and globally relevant solution. Written by Professor Sally Lewis, a frontline physician and transformative leader in the Welsh National Health Service, this book is a call to action for all healthcare policymakers, clinicians and managers. Through stories, strategic frameworks and grounded expertise, Lewis illustrates how healthcare systems can deliver better patient outcomes while using resources more effectively. From discussing grassroots implementation in Wales to proposing guiding principles that are adaptable across continents, the book brings to life the value-based healthcare approach: focusing on what truly matters to patients and aligning care delivery around those goals. This invaluable guide gives you the tools you will need to overcome resistance, harness data and foster multidisciplinary collaboration. With humility and insight, Lewis shows that sustainable, patient-centred reform is not just possible, it is already underway. This is more than a blueprint; it’s a movement. Wherever you are in the world, if you care about health equity, outcomes and sustainable care, this book belongs on your desk.
