Value-based healthcare in the UK: A system of trial and error
Value-based healthcare looks at health outcomes of treatment relative to cost. In this particular report The EIU examines the structure of UK healthcare delivery, the unique model used by its health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, and its history of experimentation in value-based pricing.

Value-based healthcare in Sweden: Reaching the next level
The need to get better value from healthcare investment has never been more important as ageing populations and increasing numbers of people with multiple chronic conditions force governments to make limited financial resources go further.
These pressures, along with a greater focus on patient-centred care, have raised the profile of VBHC, especially in European healthcare systems. Sweden, with its highly comprehensive and egalitarian healthcare system, has been a leader in implementing VBHC from the beginning, a fact that was underscored in a 2016 global assessment of VBHC published by The Economist Intelligence Unit.
This paper looks at the ways in which Sweden has implemented VBHC, the areas in which it has faced obstacles and the lessons that it can teach other countries and health systems looking to improve the value of their own healthcare investments.
Breast cancer patients and survivors in the Asia-Pacific workforce
With more older women also working, how will the rising trend of breast cancer survivorship manifest in workplace policies, practices and culture? What challenges do breast cancer survivors face when trying to reintegrate into the workforce, or to continue working during treatment? How can governments, companies and society at large play a constructive role?
This series of reports looks at the situation for breast cancer survivors in Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. It finds that while progress has been made, more needs to be done, particularly in South Korea, where public stigma around cancer remains high.
The Cost of Silence
Cardiovascular diseases levy a substantial financial toll on individuals, their households and the public finances. These include the costs of hospital treatment, long-term disease management and recurring incidence of heart attacks and stroke. They also include the costs of functional impairment and knock-on costs as families may lose breadwinners or have to withdraw other family members from the workforce to care for a CVD patient. Governments also lose tax revenue due to early retirement and mortality, and can be forced to reallocate public finances from other budgets to maintain an accessible healthcare system in the face of rising costs.
As such, there is a need for more awareness of the ways in which people should actively work to reduce their CVD risk. There is also a need for more primary and secondary preventative support from health agencies, policymakers and nongovernmental groups.
To inform the decisions and strategies of these stakeholders, The Economist Intelligence Unit and EIU Healthcare, its healthcare subsidiary, have conducted a study of the prevalence and costs of the top four modifiable risk factors that contribute to CVDs across the Asian markets of China, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

Value-based healthcare in Portugal: Necessity is the mother of invention
Value-based healthcare looks at health outcomes of treatment relative to cost. In this particular paper, The EIU examines the way in which the recent economic and financial crisis has shaped health technology assessment in Portugal; the role of the hospital sector as a decentralised power source; and promising initiatives in integrated care, family health units and a new process for the re-evaluation of health technologies.

Value-based healthcare in France: A slow adoption of cost-effectiveness criteria
Key findings
- In France, the level of improvement is a key determinant rather than price in deciding how innovation is valued.
- Patient access to new drugs is highly valued and influential in how the French healthcare system is organised.
- A lack of transparency in the way in which final prices for new drugs are negotiated curbs progress of value-based healthcare in France.
