VALUE-BASED HEALTHCARE: THE TURKISH CASE

Year 2021, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 33 - 48, 29.04.2021

Abstract

Health systems almost all around the world face many challenges such as the aging population, increasing chronic and infectious diseases, needs, technological innovations, and health expenditures. Countries, including Turkey, are looking for a variety of remedies to overcome these challenges, and the value-based healthcare concept has come to the forefront in tackling the challenges. The main objective of this article is to reveal the value-based healthcare in general and the Turkish case. In the scope of this article, an open-ended questionnaire consisting of the six subtitles related to value-based health care in the Turkish health system was prepared and the questionnaire was sent to 12 representatives including public institutions, healthcare providers, health economists, academics, experts, and other associations from the field of health. Their responses were the main qualitative material of this research and this research was conducted between June 2020 and August 2020. It is believed that the concept of value-based healthcare has a huge potential to develop person-centered health systems that can produce efficient, quality, effective, and sustainable healthcare, and thereby improve health outcomes.

Abstract

Sağlık sistemleri, yaşlanan nüfus, artan kronik ve bulaşıcı hastalıklar, ihtiyaçlar, teknolojik yenilikler ve sağlık harcamaları gibi birçok zorlukla karşı karşıyadır. Türkiye de dahil olmak üzere ülkeler, bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için çeşitli politikalar üretmektedir ve bu noktada değer temelli sağlık hizmeti kavramı ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu makalenin temel amacı değer temelli sağlık hizmetini Türkiye örneği çerçevesinde ele almaktır. Bu makale kapsamında, Türkiye sağlık sisteminde değere dayalı sağlık hizmetleri ile ilgili toplamda altı alt başlıktan oluşan açık uçlu bir anket hazırlanmış ve anket sağlık alanındaki kamu kurumları, sağlık politikası uzmanları, sağlık ekonomistleri, akademisyenler ve sağlık alanında çalışan dernekler dahil olmak üzere 12 temsilciye gönderilmiştir. Temsilcilerden gelen yanıtlar bu araştırmanın temel niteliksel materyalini oluşturmaktadır ve bu araştırma Haziran 2020 ile Ağustos 2020 arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Değer temelli sağlık hizmetleri kavramının kişi bazlı sağlık sistemleri geliştirmek ve verimli, etkil, sürdürülebilir ve kaliteli hizmet üretebilecek sağlık sistemlerini hayata geçirmek için büyük bir potansiyele sahip olduğu; bu sayede de sağlık sonuçlarını iyileştirebileceğine dair bir kanıya varılmıştır.
