The economic benefits of the shift to proactive care
The Hewitt review makes clear that ‘health value’ - the economic growth that is created by investment in healthcare - is a core part of embedding long-term strategic change and the shift to prevention. This session will focus on why leaders should prioritise wider economic health value in their decision-making and how it can stimulate the necessary shift towards proactive, preventative models of care.
Case studies will look at systems and local partners taking a population health management approach to help shift funding towards earlier stages of patients’ journeys and the broader return on investment created when community services are prioritised and properly funded.
