But where does all this change lead to and what does the future of the healthcare system look like? Vertical set out to answer these questions and more in the Future Trajectories of Healthcare study.

The rise of value-based healthcare models

When you get sick, in most cases you (or your insurance) pays for your healthcare based on the quantity of treatment you get. What if we could turn that upside down and instead pay based on how you recover? That’s value-based healthcare in a nutshell, and it’s a model that is gaining traction in Finland in the public and private sectors alike and shifting the value chains in the healthcare industry.
