If so, “The Patient Priority” by Stefan Larsson, Jennifer Clawson, Josh Kellar, and Robert Howard is the book for you.

In today’s global health sector, there are many challenges that need to be addressed. One of the most pressing issues is how to deliver better health outcomes to patients while managing costs effectively. Traditional approaches to health system reform have focused on cost containment, but “The Patient Priority” introduces an alternative approach: value-based health care.

Value-based health care shifts the focus from cost containment to continuous improvement in the outcomes delivered to patients. It involves systematically measuring, tracking, and improving health outcomes over time. By doing so, health systems can achieve several transformative effects, including delivering better patient outcomes, identifying best practices more rapidly, controlling costs more effectively, and rebuilding the trust and motivation of health professionals.

“The Patient Priority” is a practical step-by-step guide designed for clinicians, payers, policymakers, and other industry stakeholders. It provides powerful case studies of leading value-based innovators from both high- and low-income countries, showcasing how they are taking the concept of value-based health care from theory to practice. The book also presents a detailed roadmap for the comprehensive value-based transformation of national health systems.

What sets “The Patient Priority” apart is its focus on putting the patient and the delivery of outcomes that matter to patients at the center of the healthcare industry’s efforts. By aligning incentives around continuous improvement of health outcomes in a cost-effective manner, the book demonstrates a sustainable approach to containing costs while fulfilling the mission of the healthcare sector.
