Value-based care and quality improvement are related concepts used to measure and improve clinical care. Value-based care represents the relationship between the incremental gain in outcome for patients and cost efficiency. It is achieved by identifying outcomes that are important to patients, codesigning solutions using multidisciplinary teams, measuring both outcomes and costs to drive further improvements, and developing partnerships across the health system. Quality improvement is focused on process improvement and compliance with best practice, and often uses "Plan-Do-Study-Act" cycles to identify, test, and implement change. Validated, standardized core outcome sets for perioperative neuroscience are currently lacking, but neuroanesthesiologists can consider using traditional clinical indicators, patient-reported outcomes measures, and perioperative core outcome measures. Several examples of bundled care solutions have been successfully implemented in perioperative neuroscience to increase value; for example, enhanced recovery for spine surgery, delirium reduction pathways, and same-day discharge craniotomy. This review proposes potential individual- and system-based solutions to address barriers to value-based care and quality improvement in perioperative neuroscience. |
