New approaches to value in health and care

Realising the Value was an 18-month programme that aimed to consolidate what is known about person- and community-centred approaches for health and wellbeing, and make recommendations on how they can have maximum impact.

This paper makes a series of calls to action to ensure that the approach to understanding, capturing, measuring and assessing value in health and care takes full account of value, as it is experienced and created by people and communities.

The paper also proposes a set of value statements and accompanying pledges.

New approaches to value in health and care was written for those seeking to add value to people’s lives and mobilise the value that people and communities themselves can create for health and wellbeing.
