Expert response highlights system-level digital health integration across healthcare sectors, suggesting that stakeholder co-design is vital for value-based care.
This Author Reply addresses the comments raised in response to our Viewpoint, “Digital Health Innovations to Catalyze the Transition to Value-Based Health Care.” We appreciate the thoughtful reflections that emphasize the broader system-level requirements for implementing value-based health care (VBHC) beyond technology adoption. In this response, we affirm the importance of patient co-design, digital equity, data interoperability, and workforce education as essential enablers of VBHC. We also acknowledge the significance of sustainable financing models and stakeholder collaboration to support long-term transformation. We concur that realizing VBHC requires systemic alignment across governance, clinical, and financial dimensions, and we support continued interdisciplinary research to guide equitable and scalable digital health innovation.
