Related Posts Value based health care model and leadership (By Tinto Cherian) Rising healthcare costs is driving Australia to contain costs while improving the quality of care. Value-based health care (VBHC) model is one such approach that is explored around the world that focus on the ‘value of care provided’ rather than the ‘volume of services’ and prioritise patient outcomes while reducing costs.

Climate change: the role of health service management in leading for change (Funmi Lamidi) Funmi Lamidi discusses the role that health service management can play in combatting the climate crisis. What is value-based healthcare? Have you ever heard of value-based healthcare?

I want to take the time to reflect on four key lessons I have learned to date. #1 – The climate crisis is a public health crisis. #2 – Environmental sustainability and financial sustainability are not mutually exclusive. #3 – First Peoples’ voice must be at the centre of climate and health decision-making. #4 – Effective climate action requires intersectoral collaboration on a local, national, and global scale.
