Episode 12 - Value-Based Healthcare with Prof. Hamish Laing
In the latest episode of the "Let's Talk Preventative Healthcare" podcast by the Academy for Health Equity, Prevention and Wellbeing, hosts Nathan Bray and Tracey O'Neill have a conversation with Professor Hamish Laing. Professor Laing is not only a key figure in the VBHC (Value-Based Healthcare) Academy at Swansea University but also holds a crucial role in Enhanced Innovation & Engagement.
Tune in as we get to the heart of the Value-Based Healthcare Academy's ethos and mission, uncovering its origins and growth. With keen insights from Professor Laing, the episode interprets the concept of Value-Based Healthcare and explores the philosophy of prioritising value in healthcare over financial cost. They explore the important question of how to measure the outcomes of person-centred interventions, shedding light on the importance of assessing what truly matters to the patient during their healthcare journey.
The discussion touches on the shift towards outcome measures in healthcare and examines the ongoing challenges faced not only in Wales but also on a global scale. Education, knowledge, and cultural transformation are key components underpinning the transformation of healthcare systems. Hamish and the hosts explore how these elements can shape the future leaders of healthcare and the need for collaboration among the upcoming generation of leader to effectively bring about change within their departments and systems.
