Overall aim: To provide participants an overview of all aspects of value-based-health care (VBHC) as theorised by Prof Michael Porter, Harvard Business School. Where value is defined as the outcomes achieved for patients relative to costs. This means measuring provider and patient reported outcomes and costs in a standardized way. But there is more than this. Patient engagement, more specific shared decision making and co-creation, team collaboration and continuous improvement of the care path used are as important. This will be illustrated with clinical examples of multiple organizations.

The program consists of 20 lectures and will deal with all important aspects of value based healthcare:

International comparability of the measurement and use of outcomes for health system improvement
