We are pleased to showcase the latest blog post from our Knowledge Partner, The Voice of The Patient:  “Placing Patients at the Centre of Healthcare Funding” where for the first time, performance-related incentives are directly tied to patient-reported outcomes and experiences, collected through the Voice of the Patient platform. This is a ground-breaking achievement and will ensure providers maintain high quality care.

The article emphasizes the importance of integrating patient perspectives into healthcare systems to enhance care quality and outcomes. It highlights the role of the Voice of the Patient initiative, which collaborates with organizations like the ICHOM to prioritize patient-reported outcomes. By focusing on what matters most to patients, this approach aims to reshape healthcare delivery and funding models to be more patient-centric.

This patient-centered methodology aligns with ICHOM’s mission to standardize the measurement of health outcomes globally, focussing on outcomes important to patients, promoting value-based healthcare. The partnership between the Voice of the Patient and ICHOM seeks to implement these standardized measures, ensuring that healthcare funding and delivery are aligned with patient priorities, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes.
