Abstract

Objective: This article examines the digital rebirth of value-based care (VBC), positioning artificial intelligence (AI) as a core enabler of outcome-oriented, efficient, and sustainable healthcare delivery. The primary objective is to analyze how AI-driven models operationalize risk stratification, personalized care pathways, and system-wide efficiency within value-based frameworks. Methods:A comparative policy and implementation analysis was conducted using leading international examples. The study draws on the European VALUECARE initiative; population-level telemedicine and connected health programs across the Asia–Pacific region; AI-enabled platforms in the United States, including Cedars-Sinai, Cleveland Clinic, and Johns Hopkins; and the United Kingdom’s proactive home-care model implemented by Cera. Results: The analysis demonstrates that AI-enabled value-based care models significantly enhance patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. Although Türkiye has a strong digital health infrastructure through the nationwide e-Nabız platform, gaps remain in AI integration, full interoperability, ethical data governance, and outcome-linked payment mechanisms. Conclusion:The article proposes a phased roadmap for the period 2026–2030 to accelerate Türkiye’s transition toward AI-driven value-based care. Strengthening interoperability, embedding ethical and algorithmic governance, and expanding outcome-based reimbursement models are identified as critical priorities. With targeted reforms, Türkiye has the potential to emerge as a regional leader in sustainable, high-value healthcare delivery.

Özet

Amaç: Bu makalenin amacı, değer odaklı sağlık bakımının (Value-Based Care – VBC) dijital dönüşüm sürecinde nasıl yeniden şekillendiğini incelemek ve yapay zekânın (AI) risk stratifikasyonu, klinik karar destek sistemleri ve operasyonel verimlilik üzerindeki etkilerini uluslararası uygulama örnekleri üzerinden analiz etmektir. Yöntem:Çalışma, Avrupa, Asya-Pasifik, ABD ve Birleşik Krallık’ta uygulanan değer odaklı ve dijitalleşmiş sağlık modellerinin karşılaştırmalı bir politika ve uygulama analizi üzerine kuruludur. Avrupa’daki VALUECARE projesi, Asya-Pasifik bölgesindeki nüfus ölçekli tele-tıp sistemleri, ABD’deki Cedars-Sinai ve Cleveland Clinic platformları ile Birleşik Krallık’taki Cera modeli incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Analiz bulguları, yapay zekâ destekli VBC uygulamalarının hasta sonuçlarını iyileştirirken sağlık hizmeti maliyetlerini anlamlı düzeyde azalttığını göstermektedir. Türkiye’de e-Nabız altyapısı güçlü bir dijital temel sunmakla birlikte, AI entegrasyonu, veri yönetişimi ve çıktı odaklı ödeme modellerinde gelişime ihtiyaç olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Makale, 2026–2030 dönemine yönelik bir yol haritası önererek Türkiye’nin değer odaklı ve yapay zekâ destekli sağlık sistemleri alanında bölgesel liderlik potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Başarılı bir dönüşüm için dijital altyapının AI ile bütünleştirilmesi, güçlü veri yönetişimi mekanizmalarının kurulması ve performans temelli ödeme modellerinin yaygınlaştırılması kritik öneme sahiptir.
