This course introduces value-based healthcare (VBC) as a concept where value is the main outcome sought through healthcare delivery. While value to persons receiving care is at the core of VBC, it also intends to benefit society, payers, providers and suppliers. We will also explore how to define patient outcomes, including patient satisfaction, and develop appropriate methods to measure these. A bottom-up framework for assessing effectiveness, equity and efficiency will also be used to structure the approach to diverse outcomes, including quality of care. We will examine how hospital and health system performance has developed and been used in the real-world, and how linkages to rewards and reimbursement types may incentivize improvement. The course emphasizes real-world experiences and the necessity of critical thinking in developing appropriate and sustainable VBC from within health systems.
