Estimating the value of Healthline

In 2023, Whakarongorau Aotearoa commissioned Sapere to analyse selected services in terms of their economic value, with a system-wide perspective to demonstrate their contribution in the Aotearoa New Zealand health system. The aim was to summarise our estimation of value, as much as possible, into a single quantitative table of results and to contextualise those results with the relevant qualitative aspects needed to help interpret the numbers.

This report is a reissue of the 2023 report and sets out our valuation of the Healthline service. We set out:

  • our findings
  • our methodology
  • reflections on understanding value in health services.
