The Strasys Value Index

A smarter lens on value in healthcare

Why measuring value in healthcare matters

The NHS faces a fundamental challenge: how to measure value in a way that reflects what truly matters—delivering high-quality care to those who need it most, while making the best use of public resources.

The Strasys Value Index (SVI) is a strategic tool developed to help NHS Trusts measure how effectively they deliver high-quality, timely healthcare in relation to cost. In a complex health system, SVI offers a clear, data-informed benchmark for comparing value, enabling smarter decisions and fairer outcomes.

SVI focuses on what we can broadly agree on:

  • Lower mortality and readmission is better.
  • Shorter waits improve outcomes.
  • Shifting care to lower-cost, high-value settings is good—if quality is maintained.

How well is a Trust fulfilling its mission to deliver good healthcare at an affordable cost?

What makes SVI different

1

Simple, not simplistic

Designed to be useful, not perfect.
2

Equity-aware

Accounts for population need, not just raw activity.
3

Incentive-aligned

Encourages quality, efficiency, and appropriate care settings.
4

Comparable and scalable

Adapted for use across acute, specialist, and integrated care settings.
5

Avoids over-complex weighting

SVI focuses on what we can broadly agree on and not obscure indicators.

The Strasys Value Index is an innovative use of publicly available data that can provide real insight and challenge to Trust Boards. SVI analysis has helped our Board to understand the Trust’s performance from the top strategic level down to some specific areas for improvement.
