INTRODUCTION
The essay is about the importance outcomes that need to be achieved by the care setting for the
service users. The outcome based care is explained the importance of the outcome-based
healthcare is described. The importance of outcome-based healthcare for the Soma healthcare is
discussed. The government policies that drive the outcome-based healthcare are discussed. The
benefits of the outcome-based healthcare are discussed. The challenge faced by the healthcare for
adopting the outcome-based healthcare is discussed. The healthcare with the outcome-based
healthcare approach is made person-centered by the teams is discussed. The Belbin theory as the
reference for discussing the team performance in continuous quality improvement in the care
setting is discussed. The tools required for the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) in the
healthcare setting are discussed. The reflective model is used for evaluating the strategies,
structures and systems that are used in the health and the social care practices are discussed that
promote the right, responsibility and diversity of the services users.
MAIN BODY
Question 1
Care settings achieving the best possible outcome for users of service in their care
Outcome-based care
The outcome based health care can be explained by the vast variety of spectrum strategies
that are used for transforming the fee-for-services to a value-based care. The healthcare leader
needs to embrace the outcome-based healthcare for surviving in the transition to the value- based
care. The healthcare also has to face many challenges for switching in the value-based approach
in delivering the care services. If the ultimate goal of health care is saving lives of people then
the healthcare should embrace the outcome-based healthcare. The outcome-based healthcare is
the primary beneficiaries to the patient population they are serving. The benefit to the Soma
health cares by adopting the outcome-based healthcare is that it provides the patient-centred
vision that is able to successfully motivate the health care for doing whatever they want to do.
The Soma health care wants to provide its user the best possible services but the FFS model is

interfering in the main goal from being achieved by the healthcare (Krishna, Valleru and Smith,
2019). Instead of saving lives as well as providing the best services to the user the health care is
stuck in managing the inefficiencies and solving problems.
The outcome-based healthcare will be the ideal path for the Soma health care for
restoring the systems of healthcare, the ability to deliver the promised services to the user and the
Soma health care require an attainable and approachable guide for making the switch. Soma
health care can develop the outcome- based healthcare only when they have calculated, have
thoughtful restructuring for meeting the future as well as current needs and also provide with the
on-going framework that drive the continuous improvement.
Government policies in the outcome-based care
The agreement is made by the government for the care services that include increasing
emphasis on the patient outcomes. The agreement did not demand for the radical reform instead
it will demand the healthcare with the well managed and well-resourced process for continuous
improvement and supported by development in the enhanced outcome indicator (Whiteford and
Weissman, 2017). The Ministry of Healthcare of Netherlandsstructured four objectives that are:
putting more insight in the outcomes, making more shared decisions, the funding as well as the
organisation of the care will be focused on the outcomes and the access to up-to-date as well as
relevant outcomes of information.
For delivering the committed services, the government is working closely with the hospital
alliances, advisory groups, and international consortia and with the range of stakeholder for
developing the key metrics along with robust base of knowledge of what is working, what needs
to happen and what is scaled for the outcome-based approaches for streaming in the health care
systems.
The benefits of the outcome-based healthcare
The healthcare having the outcome-based approach in the care services have following
benefits: The services are provided to the patients at the healthcare that are producing meaningful
outcomes. Help in building different relationship with the public as well as the patients for
involving them in maximising the value for more resources. The experience of the services user
and patient is improved by promoting the integration of the services as well as reducing the
fragmentation. More emphasis is placed in prevention with incentives for working in partnership.
Releasing innovative potential in the providers and the clinicians are taking more responsibility
