Samsung Medical Center (SMC) Cancer Hospital held its inaugural international symposium on Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC). The event focused on transitioning medical evaluations from traditional metrics, such as survival and recurrence rates, toward measuring actual health outcomes and patient quality of life.

SMC has utilized Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) since 2018 to monitor symptoms like fatigue and pain in breast cancer patients. Having achieved the first ICHOM certification in South Korea for metastatic breast cancer, the hospital intends to extend these value-based practices to other areas, including lung cancer. The symposium included international experts discussing clinical registries, AI-driven research, and multidisciplinary care coordination.
