Governance of Transformative Value-Based Healthcare Services in the Digital Era – A Policy and Research Agenda

Abstract

Governance of healthcare services is worldwide predominantly pursued in competitive quality-sensitive markets, which are nowadays drastically influenced by strong digitalization trends. This paper explores a value-based approach to enhancing healthcare delivery through the integration of emerging advanced digital technology access and the use of customized strategic decision and policy frameworks. The study begins by addressing the urgent policy and societal need for value-based healthcare systems, particularly in response to global or urgent health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The novel integrated healthcare intelligence framework, proposed in our study, aims to enhance healthcare management by leveraging cross-cutting digital approaches, strategic performance management, and big data analytics. This study addresses, in a systematic way, a collection of three elected key contextual conditions, including a mind mapping presentation, smart wellbeing conditions, and institutional corporate challenges. Each section in this paper examines consistently various specific operational strategies and digital technologies aimed at improving healthcare policy outcomes and setting a global benchmark for service innovation in the healthcare sector. The study presents at the end the contours of an integrated digitally-inspired early warning system for quality enhancement in the healthcare sector. The concluding section proposes operational anchor points for innovative healthcare service delivery, showcasing sustainable and equitable healthcare solutions through illustrative AI-driven pilot projects, practical capacity building, and public health engagement initiatives.
