Value-based care may drive anesthesiologist role shifts amid outcome gaps; leaves open prospective trials to confirm impact.
Value-based care, prioritizing patient outcomes over service volume, is steering a transformative course in anesthesiology in the United States. With the rise of this patient-centric approach, anesthesiologists are adopting dynamic roles to meet the demands of medical institutions, insurers, and patients for high-quality, cost-effective care. The urgency for this transition is accentuated by persistent challenges in reducing postoperative mortality rates and surgical complications, further spotlighted by the coronvirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Anesthesiologists engage in preoperative optimization, personalized care delivery, and evidence-based practices, bolstering their influence in the perioperative environment. Their collaboration with perioperative stakeholders propels the shift toward a value-driven healthcare landscape. This review analyzes the implementation of value-based care in American anesthesiology, assesses the significance of technology in enhancing its delivery, and outlines potential strategies for improving its application.
