The Case for Value-Based
Care
EVOLVING
HEALTHCARE IN
MAURITIUS
HEALTH CARE
Nadine Adam Chemtech

NADINE ADAM CEO OF
MEDTECH MAURITIUS
Mauritius has made remarkable strides in improving access to quality
healthcare. Our healthcare system, with its blend of government
hospitals, private clinics, and dedicated professionals, has much to be
proud of. However, as healthcare continues to evolve globally, it’s
essential that we in Mauritius explore new models that can further
enhance patient outcomes and ensure the sustainability of our
healthcare system. One such model is value-based care.
MEDICINE

The traditional fee-for-service model that many of us are
familiar with has been instrumental in expanding access to
medical services. Under this system, healthcare providers are
compensated based on the volume of services they deliver,
such as consultations, tests, and procedures. In this blog
Nadine Adam Medtech says that This model has enabled rapid
growth and has ensured that patients can receive the care
they need when they need it.
However, as our healthcare needs become more complex—
particularly with the rise of chronic diseases—this model can
sometimes lead to inefficiencies, such as unnecessary tests
or hospital readmissions, which drive up costs without
necessarily improving patient health. As we look to the future,
it’s crucial that we consider models that align healthcare
delivery with patient outcomes.

Understanding the
Current Healthcare
Model With Nadine

WHY CONSIDER
VALUE-BASED
CARE?
• Enhanced Patient Outcomes: By focusing on long-
term health and wellness, value-based care encourages
a more personalized approach, where treatments and
interventions are tailored to individual patient needs.
This can lead to better management of chronic
diseases, fewer hospital visits, and overall improved
health for patients.
Here’s why this shift could be beneficial for
Mauritius:
Value-based care offers an evolution rather than
a replacement of our current system. It
emphasizes rewarding healthcare providers not
just for the quantity of services delivered but for
the quality and outcomes of those services.

• Sustainable Healthcare: With healthcare costs rising
globally, finding ways to deliver care more efficiently is
critical. Value-based care helps reduce unnecessary
procedures and hospitalizations, which can lower
costs for both patients and the healthcare system,
ensuring that resources are used where they have the
most impact.
• Empowering Healthcare Professionals: Value-based
care does not diminish the role of healthcare
providers; rather, it supports them by incentivizing
collaboration and continuous improvement in patient
care. It encourages teamwork among doctors, nurses,
and other healthcare professionals, ensuring that
each patient receives the most effective treatment.

ILLUSTRATING
VALUE-BASED
CARE IN PRACTICE
Current Challenges: Heart failure patients often experience fragmented
care, leading to frequent hospital readmissions and a decline in quality of
life due to poorly managed symptoms and complications.
Value-Based Solution: A comprehensive heart failure management
program integrates a multidisciplinary team, including cardiologists,
primary care physicians, nurses, dietitians, and social workers. Nadine
Adam Medtech says, The team provides coordinated care tailored to each
patient’s needs, including regular follow-ups, medication management,
dietary counseling, and exercise programs. Advanced remote monitoring
devices track the patient’s vitals, enabling early intervention when issues
arise.
Impact: This approach has resulted in a significant reduction in hospital
readmissions, improved medication adherence, and enhanced patient
quality of life. Patients report feeling more supported and better able to
manage their condition at home, reducing the burden on the healthcare
system and improving long-term outcomes.

HEALTH CARE
To better understand how value-based care could be
implemented in Mauritius, let’s explore a few examples
from different medical specialties:

Current Challenges: Traditional joint replacement surgeries often have varied
outcomes due to inconsistencies in pre-operative preparation, surgical
techniques, and post-operative care, leading to complications, prolonged
recovery times, and readmissions.
Value-Based Solution: The implementation of Enhanced Recovery After
Surgery (ERAS) protocols for joint replacement surgeries standardizes best
practices across the entire care continuum, including pre-operative
optimization, minimally invasive surgical techniques, and structured post-
operative rehabilitation. Bundled payments ensure all aspects of care, from
pre-surgery consultations to post-operative recovery, are covered,
incentivizing healthcare providers to focus on quality and efficiency.
Impact: ERAS protocols can reduce hospital stays, decrease the rate of post-
operative complications, and improve overall patient satisfaction. Patients
recover faster and with fewer complications, reducing the long-term costs
associated with joint replacement surgeries.
2. Orthopedics: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for Joint
Replacement

Current Challenges: Diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness, is
often detected too late due to fragmented care and lack of regular screening,
especially among high-risk populations.
Value-Based Solution: An integrated care pathway for diabetic retinopathy
focuses on early detection, standardized treatment protocols, and continuous
follow-up. Primary care providers, ophthalmologists, and diabetes specialists
collaborate to ensure that patients receive regular eye screenings as part of
their diabetes management plan. Those diagnosed with retinopathy are
provided with personalized treatment plans, including laser therapy or
injections, and are monitored closely to prevent disease progression.
Impact: This integrated approach has led to earlier detection of diabetic
retinopathy, reducing the incidence of severe vision loss. Patient satisfaction
increases as they receive consistent, coordinated care, and the overall cost
burden on the healthcare system is reduced by preventing advanced stages of
the disease that require more intensive and expensive treatments.

LEARNING FROM
GLOBAL LEADERS
NADINE ADAM CHEMTECH
Countries like the United States, Sweden, and the Netherlands have
been at the forefront of adopting value-based care principles. The U.S.
has implemented extensive value-based programs in Medicare, while
Sweden and the Netherlands have focused on patient-centered,
outcomes-based care models. These countries have seen
improvements in patient outcomes and cost efficiencies, providing a
compelling case for why Mauritius could benefit from a similar
approach.

It’s not about abandoning the strengths of our current system but about building on
them to create a more resilient and patient-centered healthcare environment.
Government hospitals, private clinics, and doctors will all play a crucial role in this
transition. By working together, we can develop the infrastructure, training, and
policies needed to make value-based care a reality.
