The Clinician and Hict Partner to Advance Value-Based Healthcare Implementation in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – [29 September, 2025] – The Clinician, a global digital health company specialising in patient-reported measures and value-based healthcare, and Hict, a leading Belgian healthcare consultancy, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the implementation of value-based healthcare (VBHC) in Saudi Arabia.
The collaboration brings together The Clinician’s validated patient intelligence platform and implementation expertise with Hict’s deep advisory experience in healthcare strategy, health economics, outcome research, clinical expertise, change management, and program execution. Together, the partnership offers healthcare organizations a modular, end-to-end solution to design, implement, and scale successful VBHC programs, in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
“Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sets a bold ambition to transform healthcare through improved quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes,” said Michael Sherrard, Global Commercial Director and General Manager The Clinician. “By partnering with Hict, we can add another layer of expertise alongside our technology platform and support providers across Saudi Arabia to embed value-based principles into everyday care - using patient outcomes data to drive real-world improvements.”
Through this collaboration, healthcare organizations will be able to:
Systematically measure outcomes inclusive of clinician-reported and patient-reported outcomes and experiences (CROMs, PROMs and PREMs).
Integrate outcomes with cost data to evaluate value, optimize resource allocation, and guide investments.
Turn data into actionable insights to guide decision-making at the patient, organizational, and system levels.
Embed a value-based culture across care pathways and clinical practice.
Increase organizational expertise in VBHC through a continuous change approach.
Benchmark themselves globally and pursue ICHOM accreditation to strengthen their reputation as leaders in VBHC.
“The combination of The Clinician’s digital capabilities with Hict’s proven methodologies and sector specific expertise gives providers in Saudi Arabia a complete solution to accelerate their VBHC journey,” said Jan Demey, CEO of Hict. “With Hict’s presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for over 15 years, we bring deep local insights and trusted relationships. Together, we will enable organizations to deliver sustainable transformation that maximizes value for patients, providers and the entire health system.”
Both organizations bring extensive practical experience implementing VBHC initiatives in Saudi Arabia and internationally. Building on this foundation, The Clinician’s platform is fully localized for Saudi Arabia, offering Arabic translations, flexible customization to clinical workflows, and secure hosting within the Kingdom to support rapid and effective implementation.
Through this collaboration, The Clinician and Hict are helping position Saudi healthcare organizations as pioneers in value-based healthcare—delivering measurable impact in line with Vision 2030.
