Redefining Health: The Evolution of Health Ideas from Antiquity to the Era of Value-Based Care

Abstract: The current healthcare system in the United States (US) is characterized by high costs and poor patient outcomes. A value-based healthcare system, centered on providing the highest quality of care for the lowest cost, is the country’s chosen solution for its healthcare crisis. As the US transitions to a value-based model, a new definition of health is necessary to clearly define what constitutes a healthy state. However, such a definition is impossible to develop without a proper understanding of what “health”… Show more

“…Health care in the United States is continuing to evolve toward a value-based system in which compensation is increasingly driven by patient-centered clinical outcomes. 1 This requires defining clinical value and justifying costs of clinical interventions, particularly in areas such as orthopaedic surgery. Although traditional clinician-mediated measures of patient symptoms and outcomes such as clinical examination and radiographic results provide valuable information, they do not directly measure a patient's concerns and symptom burden.…”

“…In this regard, it is necessary to say that bioadhesive biomaterial applications in healthcare deliver quality health through integrated and technologically sophisticated heath care delivery systems. Modern healthcare also has four main principles, including the following: (i) evidence-based, patients-centered and inclusive care; (ii) community, continuous and coordinated; (iii) being ethically sound and (iv) having a regulated healthcare system [ 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ]. This review article intends to describe in Figure 3 the contemporary understanding of the significance of bioadhesive biomaterials for biomedical applications in healthcare for redefining healthcare management as a novel approach.…”

“…The definition of what means to be healthy has evolved many times since the early days of mankind reflecting beliefs and medical knowledge [ 4 ]. The journey from medical Egyptian papyri to the rod of Asclepius, from Hippocrates to Galen, brought us to the 1948 World Health Organisation (WHO) definition of health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of infirmity or disease”.…”
