Value-based healthcare for those living with diabetes or obesity
We know the significance of the statistics — and we’re working to change them.
Chronic disease accounts for 60 percent of deaths worldwide.1 Conditions like diabetes and obesity are leading contributors to the growing healthcare crisis, where systems struggle to treat more patients while keeping costs down.1 Knowing this, we set to work, partnering with the global healthcare community to use our technology, services, and insight to better manage care for those living with chronic disease. With the support of dedicated healthcare professionals and specialists, Medtronic now offers chronic care management solutions that may help individuals and their families achieve better outcomes and may also save healthcare systems money.
Improving clinical outcomes, expanding access to care, optimizing cost, and improving efficiency are critical components of healthcare reform as the global population ages and diagnoses of chronic disease grow.
Putting the patient at the center of care — with the aim of delivering the best possible results at the lowest possible cost — is the beginning of the solution. This approach requires fundamentally re-thinking how and where patients receive treatment.
Today’s healthcare system is predominantly based on a fee-for-service model, where payment to hospitals and providers is based on individual office visits, procedures, and tests a patient receives. Alternatively, in a value-based healthcare (VBHC) model, new rules and standards help focus payment and reimbursement on overall patient outcomes. Key components of such a model include preventive screenings, wellness plans, and clinic-based care, which are particularly well-suited for addressing chronic conditions.2
