Abstract

The oncology care system served as a case study to evaluate the Russian healthcare system’s preparedness for transitioning to value-based healthcare (VBHC) models. In 2024, a working group of leading oncologists and healthcare policy experts conducted a series of meetings focused on implementing VBHC projects within Russian oncology practice. Analysis of international experience and ICHOM consortium outcomes revealed consensus on the importance of incorporating patient-reported outcomes and experiences to enhance care quality. The experts comprehensively reviewed the criteria proposed by the ICHOM Participants reviewed ICHOM’s VBHC research criteria, discussing key metrics, their clinical relevance, and implementation feasibility within Russia’s healthcare context. 
The meetings concluded with agreement on developing standardized VBHC methodologies for oncology and expanding educational initiatives for healthcare professionals and patients. 
Proposals were made for further educational and organizational initiatives to raise awareness of VBHC principles among healthcare professionals and patients. Particular attention was given to identifying system-specific challenges in adopting value-based approaches in Russian oncology.
