- The issue of containing costs while promoting innovation and ensuring equitable access as well as high quality of care is not unique to Japan. These are wide-ranging challenges being experienced around the globe.
- Three potential avenues to explore in pursuit for the above challenges are: moving toward a value-based pricing system, accurately managing and analyzing big data, and adopting new technologies.
- In order to accurately price healthcare, particularly for pharmaceutical breakthroughs, governments must understand the multi-stakeholder perspectives on this issue, and evaluate both the costs and public health benefits.
- Under a health system that emphasizes equitable access (such as Japan), the focus should be on standardizing and maintaining the quality of care before an attempt to assess the product value.
- Involvement of the public (patients) in decision-making and communicating the requisites for an innovative healthcare system to the broader public will be the keys for an efficient delivery of healthcare that meets the public needs.
