MICHAEL PORTER ON “VALUE BASED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY” Lecturer: MICHAEL PORTER ON “VALUE BASED HEALTH CARE DELIVERY” If there is one area of the national structure that has long searched for transformation, it is the health sector. Indeed as constantly as possible, stakeholders within the health sector are looking for ways in which the delivery of healthcare can be improved and made to be at par with what the ordinary citizen desires (Department of Health, 2006). It is in the wake of such a search that Michael Porter speaks about how improved healthcare can be achieved through value based health care delivery. In the understanding of Porter, it is high time service providers in the healthcare sector were made to compete based on value-based competition. By value-based, reference is being made to an era where service providers offer best value to patients. It is in the light of this that Plotkin and Orenstein (2004) explained best value to be one that caters for specific medical needs of patients. In the words of Porter however, such best value entails delivery that focuses on specific medical conditions.
