The Dubai Health Authority (DHA), which regulates the health insurance sector in Dubai, has launched “Ejadah” programme, the first-of-its-kind value-based healthcare model for the emirate.
The value-based healthcare model will pay for performance and outcomes that matter to patients, and will assist healthcare service providers with evidence-based guidelines which will be a framework for all physicians to follow with regard to treatment protocols for all ailments.
Insurance providers will have a strong foundation to refer to evidence-based data and all stakeholders will work together to enhance healthcare and reduce unnecessary medical expenditure.
The initiative will help improve government oversight of the health sector by overseeing clinical outcomes, economic and human-centric outcomes.
