értékalapú

Értékalapú is a Hungarian adjective used to describe approaches, policies, or systems that prioritize value delivered to stakeholders. Value is typically defined as the outcome or benefit achieved relative to the resources or costs required to realize it. Thus, értékalapú solutions aim to maximize effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction rather than simply increasing activity or volume.

The term is widely used in healthcare (értékalapú ellátás; value-based care), in pricing (értékalapú árazás), in management (értékalapú vezetés, értékalapú döntéshozatal), and in public policy (értékalapú finanszírozás). In Hungary as in international discourse, value-based approaches shift focus from inputs (how much care, how many services) to outcomes (patient health, customer value).

In healthcare, értékalapú finanszírozás or értékalapú ellátás ties reimbursement to quality measures, outcomes, and patient satisfaction, often via contracts that reward performance rather than volume.

Etymology: derived from érték (value) and alapú (based on). The term is used with various nouns to denote a value-driven orientation. It bears close relation to értékorientált and értékalapú gondolkodás, but may be used interchangeably in some contexts.
