Value-based evaluation of gestational diabetes mellitus care pathway redesign by using cost and outcome data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy. Implementation of Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) to GDM care is worthwhile as traditional GDM care is fragmented and fails to meet the needs of women with GDM.
