Abstract

This editorial explores value in relation to plastic surgery and strategies that have been suggested to deliver value-based healthcare. We consider how value is measured, accounting for patient outcomes and experiences, costs and equity, and describe strategies that might improve value, such as outcome-based reimbursement, reporting transparency and high volume specialist centres.

Keywords: Economics; Health economics; Medical; Plastic surgery; VBHC; Value-based care; Value-based healthcare.
