COVID-19 has largely impacted healthcare delivery and patient health journeys. However, even before the pandemic struck, reforms were underway to redesign healthcare delivery models to reduce healthcare costs and most importantly, improve patient health outcomes.
The pandemic has also transformed the role of patients – from passive recipients of care to playing a more central role in their healthcare journeys.
At the third installation of the Diagram Media Forum, leading experts share their views on how Asia Pacific can ensure patients are prioritised now in the future.

Moving towards value-based healthcare
Diagnosing the right patient at the right time with the right care increases value for patients and directs effective treatment. This can reduce costs and increase efficiency by effectively utilising resources – also know as a value-based care model. What does Asia Pacific need to do to urgently make the shift towards value-based healthcare to improve individual and societal health?
Are patients ready for a more proactive, central role in their health journey?
Growing public awareness together with the advent of innovations such as at-home Rapid Antigen COVID-19 tests and cervical cancer self-sampling kits have led to greater patient engagement and expectations. As patients in Asia Pacific become more involved in their health journey, are they equipped to play a more central role in the management of their health?
