Abstract: 
This research investigates the dynamic interplay between healthcare financial management and the pursuit of cost-effective care. The study explores operational efficiency strategies, value-based care models, and technological innovations. It explores their impact on economic outcomes and regulatory compliance. Governed by acts like the Affordable Care Act and initiatives like MACRA, the regulatory landscape significantly shapes financial strategies. Technology, including data analytics and electronic health records, emerges as a critical enabler for optimizing financial efficiency. Evaluating financial outcomes, emphasizing return on investment and cost-effectiveness ratios, reveals the intricate link between fiscal responsibility and enhanced patient care. While challenges persist, including resistance to change and limited resources, the study underscores the imperative for a balanced approach, recommending continued research into long-term financial impacts and innovative financial models aligned with value-based care.
