From a Declaration of Values to the Creation of Value in Global Health
By: Jim Yong Kim, Joseph Rhatigan, Sachin H. Jain and Michael E. Porter
Abstract
To make best use of the new dollars available for the treatment of disease in resource poor settings, global health practice requires a strategic approach that emphasizes value for patients, defined as health outcomes per dollar spent. Practitioners and global health academics should seek to identify and elaborate the set of factors that drive value for patients through the detailed study of actual care delivery organizations in multiple settings. Several frameworks can facilitate this study, including the care delivery value chain, as well as a systematic approach to considering shared delivery infrastructure. A new field of global health delivery science, which seeks to understand the true complexities of health care delivery will lead to insights that can rapidly improve the health of the poor throughout the world.
