Abstract
Taking care of Very Important Persons (VIPs) has always been a contentious area of medicine. Access to private healthcare in privileged classes is often linked to socioeconomic status, and the concept role of executive health medicine has emerged. The provision of care for VIP patients requires innovative approaches to assure that their status does not influence the quality of care they receive, and this is precisely what physicians should aim for while providing Executive VIP care. This review intends to highlight the important characteristics of Executive Medicine and the future of VIP Executive Medicine operating within a Value-Based Healthcare system. We have proposed a model of value-based executive medicine in this review in an attempt to describe the basic concept of executive medicine and its various dimensions. This model is inspired by the value-based healthcare delivery framework of Michael Porter and various executive health programs offered by academic medical centers in the United States of America.
