Tackling Wasteful Spending on Health: How Health Living Labs Are Making a Difference

According to the OECD report “Tackling Wasteful Spending on Health”*, inefficiencies, unnecessary procedures, and poor coordination are driving up costs without improving patient outcomes. How Can We Reduce Healthcare Waste? – Better Resource Allocation – Living Labs help identify where funds and efforts can be optimized to improve care. – Digital Transformation – AI-driven diagnostics, telemedicine, and patient-centred platforms reduce redundancies. – Patient & Provider Collaboration – Engaging stakeholders in solution development ensures real needs are met and inefficiencies are minimized. – Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) – Shifting from service volume to measurable patient outcomes helps eliminate unnecessary treatments and hospital readmissions.
