Development of a practical guide for patient participation in value-based healthcare: an action research study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Value-based healthcare (VBHC) strives to improve the healthcare system by focusing on value of care, that is, patient relevant outcomes relative to the costs for achieving these outcomes. Within VBHC, patient participation is crucial to identify patient relevant outcomes and value improvement potential. However, patient participation in VBHC initiatives remains limited. Therefore, we aimed to improve patient participation within VBHC teams with the ultimate aim to develop a practical guide for patient participation in VBHC.

Design

An action research study.

Setting

This study was conducted in seven collaborating Dutch hospitals from March 2023 to November 2024.

Participants

Seven VBHC teams were selected to participate in the cyclical action research
