Abstract
A reflection of the effectiveness of national health funding reforms to improve system efficiency and improve patient outcomes. Despite the complexities, policy levers exist that can promote value. However, a pressing question remains will those levers be used when activity is required to balance the budgets of our economies’ largest employers.
Keywords: cost of care, efficiency, health funding, health reform, health services, patient centred care, provider centred care, value-based healthcare.
