What is Value in Healthcare?

Value refers to the balance between the quality of care provided and the costs incurred. Ideally delivering effective, patient-centered care while minimizing unnecessary expenses. By focusing on value as well as equity, our UVAS team of faculty, staff, and community partners aims to ensure better health outcomes and optimize healthcare resource usage.
