This chapter discusses the evaluation of health services from a value-based health care (VBHC) perspective. First, we introduce the key principles of VBHC. Second, as the healthcare systems vary worldwide, we discuss the main system-level factors affecting value-based approaches. A system-wide approach is essential, as the long-term sustainability relies on shared goals across the entire health system. As an example, payment models, government regulations, and digital infrastructure may support or hinder the development of value-based care. The sections in this chapter will consider the evaluation of health services focusing on key VBHC goals: maturity of VBHC, outcomes, and costs. We introduce various perspectives, methods, and tools for both internal and external evaluation of health services. Finally, we discuss the challenges related to VBHC.

摘要

This chapter discusses the evaluation of health services from a value-based health care (VBHC) perspective. First, we introduce the key principles of VBHC. Second, as the healthcare systems vary worldwide, we discuss the main system-level factors affecting value-based approaches. A system-wide approach is essential, as the long-term sustainability relies on shared goals across the entire health system. As an example, payment models, government regulations, and digital infrastructure may support or hinder the development of value-based care. The sections in this chapter will consider the evaluation of health services focusing on key VBHC goals: maturity of VBHC, outcomes, and costs. We introduce various perspectives, methods, and tools for both internal and external evaluation of health services. Finally, we discuss the challenges related to VBHC.
