Standardized Components for the Joint Analysis of Outcomes and Costs in VBHC Delivery

Level Patient Provider Among providers
Aim Achieve high-value care based on what matters to patients Incrementally improve the value of care Learn from other healthcare providers
Application Patient-clinician interaction, shared decision-making Continuous learning and evaluation within an organization Benchmarking within and among organizations
Perspective Individual patient Hospital, clinic, practice site, disease-specific Hospital, disease-specific
Outcomes Clinical outcomes, PROMs, PREMs Clinical outcomes, PROMs, PREMs, quality, process, and performance indicators Quality, process, and performance indicators
Costs Premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, travel costs, patient time costs, lost earnings, and unemployment benefits Resources used to deliver care, cost drivers Resources used to deliver care, cost drivers
Valuation of costs Patient financial toxicity surveys and other instruments Costing methods such as TDABC Costing methods such as TDABC
Comparator Treatment options or “patients like me” Own performance over time, between patient groups Other providers
Time horizon Short- and long-term Cycles of 3–6 months 1 year
Standardization None Standardized outcome sets, e.g., by ICHOM 24,25 Scorecards or registries, e.g., Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing 19,26
Analysis Not aggregated Both aggregated and not aggregated Aggregated

PROMs, patient-reported outcome measures; PREMs, patient-reported experience measures; TDABC, time-driven activity-based costing; ICHOM, International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement
