Abstract:
Healthcare effectiveness measurement and value in health have been common topics in public health literature since 2006 when value-based healthcare (VBHC) was first defined by Porter and Teisberg. The aim of this study was to identify the barriers and challenges related to the implementation of VBHC solutions in the example of Poland. A case presentation was used as a method. The national integrated care programs (KOS-Infarction, POZ-Plus, and comprehensive treatment of chronic wounds) were used to present general challenges, along with the Integrated Care Model (ICM) for patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), to determine specific difficulties. ICM has been operating since 2012 in Gdańsk and gradually adapted the value-based integrated care (VBIC) approach. An analysis of the available data showed that the greatest difficulties related to the implementation of the VBHC and VBIC concepts are a lack of legal and reimbursement solutions, staff shortages, a lack of educational standards for some members of the multidisciplinary team, and insufficient awareness of the role of integrated care. As the level of preparation to implement VBHC policies varies between individual countries, the conclusions drawn from the experience of ICM and other Polish projects may be a valuable voice in discussion.
