Value-based healthcare is increasingly becoming a topic of interest.

Based on the increasing prevalence of aging populations and chronic diseases, as well as the structural need to address them, VBHC aims to target the outcomes that have the greatest impact on patients while also driving cost efficiency in healthcare, especially in the digital era.

This module will help you gain vital knowledge and expertise in financial matters, learn to evaluate various models of financing a digital solution, and discuss the challenges and opportunities related to the use of data, data-gathering, and other aspects of healthcare information systems to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare delivery system stakeholders.
