According to The Actuary<\/a>, the fee-for-service model that dominates much of the region is proving financially and operationally unsustainable. Experts argue that value-based care (VBC), which links payments to patient outcomes rather than service volume, could provide a pathway to more sustainable and equitable health systems.<\/p>\n VBC has already shown promise in the United States and Europe, where it has reduced readmission rates, encouraged preventive care, and generated billions in savings. In Asia, early adoption is emerging through initiatives such as India\u2019s Ayushman Bharat<\/a> programme and Indonesia\u2019s Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional<\/a>. These models have demonstrated potential for lowering out-of-pocket costs, expanding access to rural populations through telemedicine, and reducing overcrowding in hospitals.<\/p>\n The article also highlights the important role actuaries can play in supporting the transition. By leveraging data analytics, actuaries can forecast demand, evaluate financial risks, and measure the effectiveness of VBC interventions. With targeted reforms, investment in digital infrastructure, and public-private collaboration, Asia could harness VBC to build resilient, efficient, and patient-centred systems for the future.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
