We partner with global and local institutions to unlock the value of human-centered health systems for patients, providers, and payers in India, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, and beyond
We all want and need health systems that are human-centered. At Leapfrog to Value we believe that such systems can produce better health and societal outcomes at a better cost.
Take a holistic view of human flourishing, addressing the social, behavioral, environmental, and spiritual aspects of wellness, in addition to the biomedical
Invest in compassionate and high-quality care that emphasizes prevention in the community, reducing the need for costly drugs and procedures
Prioritize health over healthcare. Buying more healthcare doesn’t produce better health; research shows that only ~10% of of outcomes can be attributed to medical interventions.
Value-based care puts forth best practices in how we measure, deliver, and pay for care.
While value-based care has been embraced by the public and private sectors globally (World Health Organization, G20, World Economic Forum), low and middle-income countries(LMICs) have been left out of the dialogue.
We seek to change that. We believe that value-based care can help LMICs bolster the quality of healthcare systems, by making care more patient-centered and thereby improving demand, and by systematically steering more resources to address social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health. Value-based care models can also optimize costs by rewarding providers for being stewards of resources.
What a health system chooses to measure is its North Star. It guides how it learns, improves, and innovates. It is the basis for how success is defined and how resources flow.
If the goal is to maximize value, measuring value is imperative.
Value = outcomes that matter most to patients/costs to achieve those outcomes
The numerator in the value equation is human-centered outcomes. For a mother and her newborn, this is not only a delivery at term without complications. It’s also a fulfilling birth experience and success with feeding.
The denominator is the costs required to achieve those outcomes. For the same mom and newborn, these are the combined costs of antenatal services, delivery, and post-natal care. This comprehensive view reveals to us when investments in healthy pregnancies are offset by the lower likelihood of complications.
Value-based delivery is built around human-centered care pathways. For each pathway, providers routinely review value-based data and use those insights to continuously improve care.
This focus leads systems to emphasize preventive care in community and primary care settings when possible, providing access to hospital-based treatment when necessary.
Proactively reaching out to patients who are at high risk
Supporting people in lifestyle changes, drawing on behavioral science and the wisdom of frontline providers
Investing in innovative at-home technology that “pays for itself” by improving outcomes and reducing the long-term costs of uncontrolled diabetes
The flow of resources in a system can act as the invisible hand that shapes how and where care is delivered, how the health sector recruits talent, and which facilities and infrastructure attract investment.
Given these far-reaching implications, it is important that payment design reflects a health system’s priorities.
This means aligning budgets and payment schemes with the highest-value interventions.
For cancer care, this may mean dissociating a doctor’s income from the decision to prescribe diagnostics, drugs, and procedures. In addition, it can mean rewarding providers for delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Window of opportunity: Historically, health systems in low- and middle-income countries have taken a volume-based approach to health rather than a value-based one. The public sector has focused on coverage rates or access, and the private sector profits when it drives quantity of expensive, hospital-based care. Adhering to this path will create long-lasting structural flaws that increase costs without delivering desired results, similar to what we see in many developed economies. We at Leapfrog to Value believe that LMICs have a window of opportunity to leapfrog to a value-based approach.
Care after Covid The global pandemic has generated tailwinds for bold change in the health sector. It has elevated health system strengthening as a priority, accelerated the uptake of innovation, and underscored a need to restore trust in our health systems. Leapfrog to Value and its partners are harnessing these tailwinds.
We partner with global and local institutions to unlock the value of human-centered health systems for patients, providers, and payers in India, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and beyond.

Leapfrog to Value brings together patients, providers, and payers to design value-based care models, support experimentation, and develop strategies for scale.
We collaborate with providers, payers, patients, and donors. We support our partners in the design of human-centered health innovations. Through rigorous experimentation, we test our core hypothesis that human-centered health systems produce better outcomes at a better cost
Our approach is tailored to fit our partners’ needs. We facilitate the design process through collaborative workshops and iterative blueprinting.
1.Identify “tip-of-the-spear” opportunities for experimentation. This may be a patient segment and/or geographic area. If we focus on a disease vertical, we do this diagonally: building toward an integrated model.
2. Understand value drivers. Through data analysis, secondary research, and expert consultation, we discover what drives value and identify opportunities to improve.
3. Develop a value-based care model
Measure: Define metrics that are feasible to track and actionable.
Deliver: Design the patient journey employing human-centered design methods.
Pay: Define payment and financing models that are linked to value metrics, integrating financial and non-financial incentives for frontline providers.
4. Develop plan for evidence generation, ensuring evidence can inform policy and/or business decisions. This includes setting performance baseline and targets.
5. Develop an implementation plan, including people, processes, technologies, and budget.
6. Define the partnership structure between patients, providers, and payers.
7. Mobilize funding for experimentation from philanthropic, private, and/or public sectors.
We recognize that great design is nothing without excellent follow-through. After the design phase, Leapfrog to Value tailors strategic, technical, and implementation support \ to complement the needs of our partners. We provide these services through our core team and affiliates. Read more about our team and affiliates
