Abstract

Hospitals widely employ value-based healthcare (VBHC) to effectively manage healthcare quality. VBHC aims to maximize patient outcomes while minimizing costs by using quality measurements. The Dutch Erasmus Medical Centre experiences challenges with the time-consuming efforts to collect, evaluate, and present value-based quality measurements. Using similar VBHC measurement indicators across multiple care pathways could reduce these efforts. This study aims to identify such generic indicators for evaluating and monitoring VBHC across care pathways. A scoping review resulted in 33 articles from which indicators for VBHC measurement were extracted, aggregated and categorized using Donabedian's Structure-Process-Outcome model. The results of this study can inform researchers and VBHC practitioners on generic quality measurement indicators for VBHC management and guide future system development to facilitate the inclusion of standardized quality indicators in healthcare information systems.
