Value-Based Healthcare Education

2026/04/24

NUHS healthcare workers undergoing training

At NUHS, we build capability in Appropriate and Value-Based Care (AVBC) through education, training and workshops. Our programmes support healthcare professionals in understanding value-based healthcare, outcomes measurement and care improvement. We focus on practical learning. Healthcare professionals gain skills to apply value-based principles in everyday care. This includes designing care pathways, measuring outcomes, and using data to improve quality.  

We also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate education in Singapore. By introducing value-based healthcare early, we help future healthcare professionals understand how care decisions affect patient outcomes, experience and sustainability. 

Through teaching, mentorship, and applied learning, we equip healthcare teams with the mindset and skills to deliver care that is appropriate, patient-centred, and value-driven in an evolving healthcare landscape.

AVBC Courses and Workshops

Health Informatics and Data Visualisation

Healthcare informatics plays an integral role in the delivery of healthcare and is fundamental to improving care quality and outcomes. The Health Informatics and Data Visualisation course introduces foundational concepts in healthcare informatics, healthcare data and the regulations governing its use, consumer health technologies, and the basics of data visualisation. Delivered by experienced faculty, the course incorporates case studies, guided discussions, and hands‑on experience with selected consumer health technologies and a data visualisation tool.

What you will learn:

  • Relevance of informatics in healthcare
  • Foundational concepts of healthcare informatics
  • Healthcare data and its uses
  • Regulations around responsible use of healthcare data
  • Consumer health devices
  • Case studies in healthcare
  • Use of a data visualisation tool

Who should attend:
Healthcare professionals, managers and educators who are existing employees of healthcare institutions

How Informatics Enables Value-Based Healthcare

This course introduces the Value-Based Healthcare framework and its application in Singapore. Participants will gain an understanding of the framework for structured data management, the identification of key clinical quality measurements for specific medical conditions and the tracking of improvements in care quality and patient safety. Delivered by experienced faculty, the course features real‑world case studies drawn from value‑based care projects implemented across the NUHS cluster.

What you will learn:

  • An overview of Value‑Based Healthcare and the key enablers required to shift from a traditional, activity‑based healthcare model to a value‑based approach
  • The role of data and health informatics in supporting and implementing Value‑Based Healthcare
  • How NUHS has applied the Value‑Based Healthcare approach within Singapore’s healthcare context

Who should attend:
Healthcare professionals, including those in medical, non-medical, finance, administration and education fields, who are existing employees of healthcare institutions.

Value-Based Healthcare Training Workshop

The Value‑Based Healthcare training workshop equips participants with practical skills to define outcomes, measure meaningful indicators, interpret data, and translate insights into care design and improvement. The programme is aligned with the Appropriate and Value‑Based Care (AVBC) framework and covers key areas such as Financing Value‑Based Models, Outcomes Measurement (including how value is defined and measured in healthcare), Appropriate Care, High‑Value Communication and Culture, as well as applied case studies. 

Working closely with partnering stakeholders, we co‑design and tailor each workshop to address local needs, priorities, and varying levels of organisational readiness and maturity.

What you will learn:

  • How to measure outcomes that matter to patients
  • How to translate value-based healthcare concepts into practical care redesign
  • Approaches to improve patient-centred care
  • Insights from real-world value-based healthcare case studies
  • Capabilities to lead and support value-based healthcare initiatives

Who should attend:
Healthcare professionals, including those in medical, non-medical, finance, administration and education fields, who are existing employees of healthcare institutions

Value-Based Healthcare Education for Undergraduates

Introducing Value Based Healthcare at the undergraduate level helps shape the mindset of future healthcare professionals early in their training. By exposing students to the principles of measuring outcomes that matter to patients, improving care quality, and using healthcare resources responsibly, Value Based Healthcare education promotes a patient centred and data driven approach to care delivery. It also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in improving health system performance. Embedding these concepts early prepares the next generation of clinicians to contribute meaningfully to a healthcare system that is high quality, sustainable, and focused on delivering value for patients and the population.

Advanced Value-Based Healthcare Education for Postgraduates

The Advanced Value Based Healthcare course is part of the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics (Coursework) programme offered by the Department of Biomedical Informatics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. The course introduces Biomedical Informatics students to Value Based Healthcare, one of the most significant transformations shaping healthcare today. It integrates core concepts of value in healthcare with data management principles and practical data analytics skills using tools such as SQL, Python, and Tableau. Through this integrated approach, the course equips students with the knowledge and analytical capabilities required to support data driven decision making and daily practice in Value Based Healthcare settings.
