Abstract

Background: Value-based care (VBC) models, which focus on enhancing patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs, represent a transformative shift in the delivery of healthcare. By prioritizing quality over quantity, these models align incentives with the achievement of health outcomes rather than the volume of services provided. VBC approaches, including Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs), bundled payment systems, and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), aim to address the rising burden of chronic diseases, escalating healthcare expenditures, and disparities in access to care. Despite their potential benefits, VBC models face challenges such as workforce readiness, compatibility with data management systems, and equitable implementation across diverse patient populations. Aim: This study explores the theoretical foundations, methods of implementation, and outcomes associated with VBC models, with a particular focus on the critical roles played by nurses and healthcare administrators in enhancing the planning, execution, and evaluation of these models. Methods: A comprehensive review of case studies, policy papers, and peer-reviewed literature was conducted. The analysis emphasizes the integration of technology, operationalization of VBC, and the contributions of interdisciplinary teams in improving care standards and reducing costs.
