‘Sally Lewis has given us an essential history of value-based healthcare mindset and method, and a pragmatic guidebook for local, national and global healthcare transformation. Through examples and frank assessment of the hard work required, she reminds us that getting to the summit of value is a team effort, and our compass must ever be the health outcomes important to patients.’ — Jennifer Bright, president and CEO of the International Consortium for Health  Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM)

‘As a dedicated physician operating within a healthcare system that does not deliver on its mission, Sally Lewis channels her personal experience and frustration into a book that provides actionable strategies for others who, like her, choose not to throw their hands up in the air but to lead change from within. Lewis’s journey shows us that there are many great challenges to overcome and that improving healthcare is not for the faint of heart. But as Implementing Value-Based Healthcare makes clear, there is also hope, and many people who will help you along the way.’ — Susanna Gallani, Tai Family Associate Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

‘The last twenty years have been dominated by the quality paradigm: the belief that all that was needed was for healthcare managers and clinicians to increase the quality, safety and efficiency of clinical care for patients. However, it is now clear that unless we measure outcome as well as quality and relate the use of resources to populations as well as patients, universal healthcare is unsustainable. This means that value-based healthcare is now the dominant paradigm. Sally Lewis has brought about the required paradigm shift in Wales. What she has done is a very good example of what the leaders and managers of health services for populations need to do. The key is to find and support people like Lewis because strong leadership is needed to change the culture. This book summarizes her journey clearly and provides an evidence-based resource for people in leadership positions globally.’ — Professor Sir Muir Gray, executive director of the Oxford Value and Stewardship Programme, director of the Optimal Ageing Programme, and founding director of the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP)
