Abstract
Value-Based Healthcare, PROMs and Shared Decision-Making - How Are They Connected? Abstract. The best possible healthcare delivery measured by the individually perceived value of a treatment at reasonable costs is the short formula of value-based healthcare (VBHC). Developed in 2006 by Harvard economists Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg in their landmark book 'Redefining Healtcare' [1], this formula and its principles are currently under considerations as a comprehensive concept for transforming the healthcare system in many countries, including Switzerland. The aim is to focus on the value of a treatment from the patient's perspective as a measure for treatment quality. Standardized Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement (PROM) as a core element of the VBHC concept is the prime metric, which can only be optimized, when Shared Decision-Making (SDM) is an embedded part, thereby integrating the individually best choices regarding the 'value' (and harm!) of specific diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures.
