Innovating value in social care

Innovating value in social care Learn here about innovating value in social care through leadership and artificial intelligence for outcome-driven transformation. Social care plays a vital role in supporting independence, safety and well-being, yet it lacks a coherent value framework comparable to those emerging in healthcare. Recent work on Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) shows that artificial intelligence (AI) delivers system-level value only when aligned with leadership, data infrastructures and collaborative governance (Rees et al., 2025). Technology alone is insufficient; organisational and social capabilities determine whether AI moves beyond isolated pilots.
