AIA Singapore partners National University Hospital (NUH), part of the National University Health System (NUHS), to advance Appropriate Value-Based Care (AVBC) — delivering consistent, transparent, and sustainable outcomes for patients.
Setting the Standard for Patient-Centred Care
Since 2015, NUH has been a national leader in outcomes-focused care through the Value Driven Outcomes (VDO) framework. This approach measures patient treatment results alongside cost to guide better clinical decisions. Building on this foundation, NUH is advancing integrated care approaches aligning healthcare teams across the full patient journey, from diagnosis to recovery, to deliver more seamless, consistent, and patient-centred care.
Benefits of AVBC for patients and the community
Over 95% of selected heart procedures and more than 98% of patients recover without complications in conditions such as heart failure
Nearly 100% success in using keyhole surgery techniques without needing to switch to larger, open operations for selected procedures
High satisfaction scores with more than 98% of patients rating their experience positively for major conditions
Quality care with fast recovery
Heart failure patients typically discharge within 4 days
More than 85% of patients having common operations like removal of appendix go home within 3 days
More than 90% of patients with selected conditions do not need to return to hospital for further treatment within 30 days
Our shared commitment
NUH and AIA share a common commitment to delivering coordinated, patient-centred care that drives the best outcomes. NUH continues to advance innovative care models that enhance collaboration across healthcare providers, minimise treatment variability, and promote shared accountability for patient outcomes, experience, and cost, ultimately delivering greater value for patients and the healthcare system.
