Value-based healthcare strategies

This publication highlights various initiatives driven by Dental Service Organizations

Healthcare systems worldwide are under pressure due to demographic changes in combination with evolving healthcare needs. In response, measures are taken to actively move towards value-based healthcare systems, with payers typically considered to be the driving force. This publication highlights various initiatives driven by Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) which are in line with value-based healthcare. We argue that DSOs are already facilitating the shift towards value-based models and, therefore, can contribute further to the implementation of value-based healthcare in the dental care sector. By doing this, DSOs create the much needed benefits to patients, providers and society at large.
