Course Description

(Hospitals) Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) is the economic driver underpinning the national Saudi Model of Care (MoC), as regulators move to link institutional reimbursement to measurable patient health outcomes and discourage the volume-based accumulation of services. This executive program decodes VBHC financial frameworks and guides senior leaders in transitioning strategic planning toward outcome-based, risk-sharing care architectures. Participants explore advanced capitation strategies and risk-sharing reimbursement models adapted to the Saudi multi-payer market, and learn to design the outcome-measurement systems that make value visible and contractible. The curriculum contrasts neighboring jurisdictions that prohibit unregulated capitation with Saudi Arabia's data-driven AR-DRG approach, drawing out the implications for cluster financing. Through applied workshops, leaders learn to architect internal performance contracts that incentivize preventive care and reduce readmissions, and to negotiate capitated funding based on demonstrated value. Mastery of these economic levers is paramount for cluster executives, strategy officers, and health economists steering institutions through the transition to value-based financing under the Health Holding Company.
