The Value-Based Healthcare (VBH) concept is designed to improve individual healthcare outcomes without increasing expenditure, and is increasingly being used to determine resourcing of and reimbursement for medical services. Radiology is a major contributor to patient and societal healthcare at many levels. Despite this, some VBH models do not acknowledge radiology's central role; this may have future negative consequences for resource allocation.
METHODS, FINDINGS AND INTERPRETATION: This multi-society paper, representing the views of Radiology Societies in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, describes the place of radiology in VBH models and the health-care value contributions of radiology. Potential steps to objectify and quantify the value contributed by radiology to healthcare are outlined.
基于价值的医疗保健（VBH）概念旨在在不增加支出的情况下改善个体的医疗保健结果，并且越来越多地用于确定医疗服务的资源配置和报销。放射学在多个层面上是患者和社会医疗保健的主要贡献者。尽管如此，一些 VBH 模型并未承认放射学的核心作用；这可能会对资源分配产生未来的负面影响。
方法、发现和解释：本文代表了来自欧洲、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰的放射学会的观点，描述了放射学在 VBH 模型中的地位以及放射学对医疗保健的健康价值贡献。概述了使放射学对医疗保健的贡献客观化和量化的潜在步骤。
