Augment your practice with tools that support Value Based Care
OutcomesIT is an inexpensive application that can augment your practice by incorporating validated tools, outcome measures and data collection. It is designed to facilitate prompt communication and coordinated patient care.
Value based care
Value Based Care
- The current fee for service funding model is increasingly understood to be unsustainable and is rapidly being replaced by a value-based care model in many countries, including South Africa
- The goal of value-based care is to achieve the best patient outcomes and experience, while limiting direct and indirect costs. Measurement and data collection are essential to this process.
- OutcomesIT is a platform that enables health professionals to practice in a value-based care environment by:
- incorporating standardized scales and measures
- using dashboards to track individual client outcomes
- backing up data for analysis of assessment, treatment and outcome variables
- facilitating other aspects of value-based care, including the integration of care in multidisciplinary practice units
- Mastering the value agenda with OutcomesIT has the potential to grow your practice and future income

It is never easy to change work habits that have been laid down over many years. Many of us are ambivalent or anxious at the prospect of changing from paper to digital practice.
