# Optimizing Performance Monitoring of Value-Based Healthcare: The Role of Generic Patient Population Dashboards: Comment on "Reflections on Managing the Performance of Value-Based Healthcare: A Scoping Review"

## TL;DR

This paper suggests improving value-based healthcare monitoring by using dashboards and considering more factors like provider experience and transparency.

## Contribution

The paper introduces new recommendations for VBHC performance monitoring, including provider experience and generic dashboards.

## Key findings

- Expanding performance metrics to include provider experience and innovation improves VBHC monitoring.
- Generic patient population dashboards can streamline organization-wide VBHC monitoring.
- Co-design sessions with professionals help identify effective dashboard criteria.

## Abstract

Value-based healthcare (VBHC) provides a framework for enhancing health outcomes relative to costs, however its implementation depends on robust and inclusive performance monitoring systems. In their recent scoping review, van Elten et al examined the role of performance management in VBHC but adopted a narrow focus on patient-perceived outcomes. This commentary extends their findings by highlighting two key recommendations: expanding performance measurement beyond patient-perceived value to include provider experience, innovation, and transparency, and implementing generic patient population dashboards to streamline VBHC monitoring. Drawing on practical implementation experience at Dutch academic hospitals, we propose broadening literature search criteria to include cross-organizational studies and grey literature from established VBHC organizations. Furthermore, we outline criteria—identified through co-design sessions with healthcare professionals—for selecting generic indicators and designing dashboards that support efficient, organization-wide VBHC monitoring. These insights seek to enhance the theoretical and practical understanding of VBHC monitoring while promoting the advancement of transparent, value-driven healthcare systems.
