The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement is pleased to announce that two of its longstanding partners, Tawuniya and The Clinician, are working together to operationalize value-based healthcare at scale in Saudi Arabia. The collaboration demonstrates how standardized outcomes measurement can be translated into practical, real-world implementation across health systems.
Through this partnership, Tawuniya, Saudi Arabia’s largest insurer, is leadng a payer-driven approach to outcomes-based care via its fully owned primary care network, Meena Health. The Clinician is providing the digital platform and implementation expertise required to embed internationally standardized outcome measures directly into routine clinical workflows, supporting consistent and meaningful use of patient-reported outcomes.
The program represents the first payer-led implementation in Saudi Arabia to combine ICHOM Standard Sets with the OECD Patient-Reported Indicator Survey (PaRIS) framework. The initial phase focuses on Diabetes and Low Back Pain, enabling globally benchmarkable outcomes data while supporting continuous quality improvement across primary care settings.
This collaboration establishes a scalable and nationally relevant model for value-based healthcare delivery in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s health system transformation agenda. By leveraging standardized outcomes and interoperable digital infrastructure, the initiative supports clinicians, informs payers and policymakers, and advances care that is centered on outcomes that matter most to patients.
