Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare

A public-private platform to accelerate the transition to value-based healthcare in health systems throughout the world.

The health care spending crisis now more than ever requires a focal shift to patient centricity and quality.

Healthcare spending continues to rise at an unsustainable rate, however increased spending does not sufficiently translate to improved patient, population, and public health outcomes. Accelerating development and adoption of value-based healthcare around the world is needed to put to better use the $3.2 trillion of annual global health spending that makes no or minimal contribution to good health outcomes. 

To achieve it, in 2019 we created a global coalition to accelerate the adoption of value-based healthcare practices. We partner with governments, leading companies, academia, and experts from around the world to co-design and pilot innovative new approaches to patient-centered healthcare.

Why Value-Based Healthcare?

Value-based healthcare is about focusing on the delivery of outcomes that truly matter to the individual and society at large in cost-effective ways

The Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare is a public-private coalition

The Coalition was launched at the World Economic Forum's 2019 Annual Meeting in Davos. The Coalition is a collaboration between the World Economic Forum - the international organization for public-private cooperation - and leading healthcare stakeholders to promote and drive global health system transformation. 

The Global Coalition for Value in Healthcare is a global platform to share learnings, develop effective best practices and guide the development of value-based health system transformation worldwide.

Objectives

The aim of the Global Coalition is to accelerate the development of value-based healthcare around the world with the following objectives:

Our Value-Based Healthcare Framework

A patient-centered approach focuses on improving outcomes and costs for defined population segments who receive segment-specific interventions.

Our Work 

To reassess the key priorities within value-based healthcare, the World Economic Forum has undertaken work in 2024, which culminated in a 2-round Delphi panel. Our core focus was to identify high priority areas to accelerate the transitioning from volume- to value-based healthcare. Through this approach, we identified the four key domains below that will inform the Global Coalition's work in 2025 and beyond.
