Abstract

Value in health is a concept that refers to the consideration of the output of health services according to
their outcomes. This concept is on the agenda of health systems as a new approach that goes beyond
the classical understanding based on cost and volume and takes into account the perceived relationship
between the benefit provided and the money paid. This value-based approach aims to improve the
quality of healthcare services, reduce costs and ensure satisfaction with a patient-centered approach.
In order to achieve these goals, the benefit must be measured accurately. These measurements have
been made through a variety of evidence to date, but real-world data and evidence are needed for data
on environmental factors, healthcare providers/payers, or patient-reported outcomes that cannot be
obtained from this evidence. Real-world data is obtained from people’s lifestyles, drug and device use,
and treatment results. Processing the data obtained, converting it into information and making it usable
is also referred to as real-world evidence. In the health sector, these data can be obtained more easily
and quickly with the development of technology. In the health sector, this data can be obtained more
easily and quickly with the development of technology. Therefore, to expand the use of technological
devices that will generate this data, regulations such as providing subsidies, supporting national and
domestic production, and increasing technological literacy in society are thought to be needed. It is also
necessary to establish legal regulations and platforms that will both protect the rights of the parties
using this data and facilitate information sharing.
