This makes the implementation of VBHC difficult to get off the ground. There is also another problem in the Netherlands, namely that many healthcare institutions and health insurers focus on budgets rather than the added value of treatment.

However, there is still little scientific consensus on which outcomes are most relevant to patients and how they can best be measured. The concept of VBHC is actually an elaborated cost-effectiveness method from health economics. Porter indicates that a patient’s care pathway should be taken as the starting point, so that the added value of the various disciplines can be determined. In the book ‘Redefining Health Care’, management expert Michael Porter describes VBHC as being about realising the best possible outcome for the patient at the lowest possible healthcare costs. Both VBHC and Triple Aim describe what value is, but both with a completely different focus. In the Netherlands, this is usually referred to as value-driven care. So no emphasis on just saving costs or excessive attention to stories of experience, but a balance that revolves around achieving the best care and health for the patient at the lowest possible cost. The care of the future is about creating multiple value, where economic, clinical and psychosocial values are in balance. In this blog I will make this clear by zooming in on the two concepts and then highlighting the three main differences. But is that right? Are the principles of both concepts the same? We can be brief about that: no. Both concepts originated in the United States and are often referred to in the same breath as value-driven care.
