Abstract:
Value-based healthcare (VBHC) has emerged as a widely embraced strategy to address pressing healthcare challenges, including workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs, and inconsistent care quality. A scoping review by van Elten et al shows that despite their expected importance of integrating VBHC with performance management systems, very few articles provide concrete examples of this integration. Drawing on existing performance management literature, the authors explore possible reasons for why VBHC practitioners and researchers have largely overlooked this topic. This commentary critically engages with their review by examining their conceptual definitions, offering alternative explanations for the apparent lack of performance management in VBHC, and suggesting directions for future interdisciplinary research.
