Table 1 Breakdown of value areas into value objectives and activities, and key indicators identified at each level of the framework. Value areas were designed to reflect patient, healthcare provider, payer, and public health perspective. Objectives and activities were identified using a logframe approach. Indicators were identified following a Donabedian model. In the framework, outcome indicators are defined at the area and objective level, process indicators are defined at the activity level

From: A public health value-based healthcare paradigm for HIV
