Abstract

Background. With rising healthcare costs, there is a need to transform healthcare financing to provide better care value and sustainability. Healthcare providers and consumers need to be educated about value-based care and financing. This can be done through games . Intervention & Methods. We describe the design of our board game Health$en$e TM which aims to let players simulate the role of funding patients’ care as the patients move across the care value chain. In the game, players will learn how certain care funding innovations help to optimize healthcare expenditure for better value. Discussion & Conclusion. We envisage that some game elements of Health$en$e TM may motivate players to transform healthcare financing systems in the real world. We formulate a matrix to predict the possible associations between game elements and psychological core drives relevant to Health$en$e TM . Further analysis of the game’s potential impact and validation of the matrix could be conducted in due course after the game is launched in a workshop.
