Healthcare: How will COVID-19 Impact a Value-based Transformation?
Free Webinar
Friday, May 8, 2020 at 11:00 am Eastern Time
This webinar will provide an overview of the fundamentals and advantages of Value Based Healthcare (VBHC). We will then explore the ways that current healthcare professionals are fighting against COVID-19 through a VBHC lens and strategy.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn what our healthcare system is doing, and more importantly, the approaches to take in order to implement a VBHC approach in their own practice.
Finally, the webinar will discuss how COVID-19 might change the way the transformation to VBHC has been done in terms of approach used, initial narrative, and speed of implementation.

His research has been repeatedly funded by FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, the Portuguese public agency for scientific research.

He is currently the Vice-President of IBRAVS – Brazilian Institute for Value in Health.
Joao’s actions have had an important impact on Portuguese society. Joao has co-led the Cascais Agreement movement, which gathers the 80+ major stakeholders that have publicly signed the agreement that establishes that by 2022 1/3+ of the Portuguese health care providers must have had an experience with VBHC. Also, two of Joao’s books have had a significant impact. He is a co-writer of “Portugal cannot wait”, together with Portugal’s MP Pedro Rodrigues, and the first co-writer of “Eliminating hepatitis C in Portugal: from vision to action” (both in Portuguese). The first helped shape the political programs of the two major political parties in Portugal. The recommendations of the second have been introduced on the ground by Portugal’s Ministry of Health and have helped improve the lives of hundreds of patients. Former President of Portugal, and High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, Jorge Sampaio, wrote the preface of the latter book. Also, in the past, Joao was a member of the cabinet of Portugal’s Ministry of Education. Joao Marques-Gomes has a PhD in economics from the University of Evora (Portugal), and an MBA from the FIA Business School (Brazil).
