Value-Based Healthcare for Wales

In Wales, value-based care is underpinned by Prudent Healthcare, first launched as a philosophy and a policy in January 2014. Its key principles of coproduction, equity, intervening gently effectively (and only as much as we need to) and reducing unwarranted variation (including under and over-treatment) are all key to achieving value for our patients and citizens across a whole system of health and social care. Prudent Healthcare has provided a strong foundation for healthcare improvement in Wales and a value-based healthcare approach will help to make the aims of Prudent Healthcare a reality.
