The VBHD course was inspiring. I hope to use the information
from this course in my career as a primary care doctor.
The course has engrained in me that value = outcomes/costs.
In order to provide high value care, we need to focus on measuring meaningful
patient reported outcomes and accurately recording costs (via the TDABC
method). This means engaging the patient in our work, which few people
currently do. In addition, I hope to do more process mapping in my career to
identify how we can do processes more efficiently and enhance team-based care
models.
Not only did I learn about value based care delivery in this
course, but I also learned about leadership. Behind each successful case was a
strong leader. I learned that good leaders are visionaries, hard-working, and
lead by example. They also understand the importance of value-based health care
and find ways to incorporate this in practice.
Ultimately, I plan to use the principles from this course to
provide high value care to patients, while also reducing burnout and increasing
professional fulfillment among health care workers.
