Health Economics Roundtable – Could a shift to value based care improve research translation?

In this second Health Economics Roundtable for 2021, we will bring together leaders from across the health and medical research pipeline and from federal and state governments to discuss how a move towards value-based care might improve research translation – delivering improvements for both patients and Australia’s health system.

There is growing interest in alternate ways to fund healthcare, with many in government and the health sector exploring value-based care models. The National Hospital Reform Agreement Addendum 2020-25 sets a pathway for long term reform. Value-based care aims to align payment incentives with health system objectives to achieve better value by driving improvements in quality and slowing growth in spending. This Roundtable will explore value-based care and its implications for the health and medical research community.
