Value-Based Healthcare Project

The Health Cluster Portugal (HCP) project, Value-Based Healthcare in Cataract Surgery (VBHCAT) was distinguished by the World Economic Forum’s Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare as a Global Innovation Hub. This distinction is awarded to the most advanced and impactful initiatives in the world that demonstrate leadership in the implementation of value-based healthcare models.

The World Economic Forum’s Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare has considered the VBHCAT project, under development by HCP, to be so innovative and distinctive that it can be replicated in other countries, with significant impacts on patients, giving them more information and, to that extent, giving them the opportunity to make well-informed choices regarding their healthcare.

Health Cluster Portugal plans to expand the Value-based Health Care project to other specialties in order to promote the adoption of this new value-based model.
