How can hospitals make a transition from current electronic health records to value-based platforms in Portugal
| Summary: | Electronic Health Records (EHRs) were designed to store patients' medical data to improve patient care. The introduction of EHRs created large benefits for care delivery, but major inefficiencies still hinder improvements in the quality of care. In response to this, Value-Based Health Care became an increasingly popular topic. The value based movement's main goal is to increase patient value by improving treatment outcomes while reducing the cost of care delivered. One key requirement for implementing this approach is a digital value-based platform that enables capturing more value for patients. To assess readiness towards transforming traditional EHRs to value-based platforms, qualitative research was performed through semi-structured interviews with 24 subject matter experts from Portugal, the United States, and Belgium. |
