| Abstract: |
It is a pleasure to introduce the inaugural volume of Value-Based Academy research papers for 2024, an open-access collection that highlights exemplary work from learners on the MSc Advanced Health & Care Management (Value-Based) programme. This volume brings together projects that demonstrate how value-based principles can be translated into meaningful improvements across health and care systems.The contributions presented here focus on three core dimensions of value-based healthcare:•Improving outcomes that matter to people and communities•Designing services around value rather than activity•Leading sustainable, system-oriented transformation across health and careEach project is deeply grounded in the learners’ professional settings, ensuring direct relevance to practice. This embeddedness allows for rigorous academic inquiry to sit alongside measurable and context-specific impact, an approach central to value-based healthcare education. Across the volume, the authors engage critically with contemporary challenges in health system redesign, innovation, service transformation, and leadership, offering both conceptual development and actionable insights.Collectively, the work reflects a clear alignment with national strategic priorities. The projects embody the principles set out in A Healthier Wales: our plan for health and social care (Welsh Government, 2018), with its emphasis on whole-system integration and sustainable models of care. They also resonate with the Innovation Strategy for Wales (Welsh Government, 2023), which promotes mission-oriented innovation, stronger translational pathways, and research that delivers societal and economic benefit. Taken together, these contributions support Wales’s long-term ambition to build a resilient, equitable, and value-based health and care ecosystem.The interdisciplinary nature of the cohort, spanning health and social care, the third sector, and the wider life sciences and industry landscape, has enriched the intellectual and practical insights captured in this volume. This diversity fosters robust analysis, strengthens knowledge exchange, and reinforces the collaborative ethos that defines the programme.For policymakers, the work provides grounded evidence and insights that can inform strategy and system design; for academics and researchers, it offers practitioner-embedded case studies demonstrating rigorous inquiry and applied impact; and for students and professionals, it serves as a rich resource for understanding how research and leadership intersect in high-value care.The Innovation Academy Research Series reaffirms the shared mission of Swansea University’s Value-Based Health & Care Academy and the All-Wales Intensive Learning Academy for Innovation in Health and Social Care: to advance innovation scholarship, promote open access, and contribute to knowledge that informs policy, practice, and the future of value-based healthcare. |
