Mission
The Value-Based Health Care University Diploma offers to professionals a high-quality curriculum focusing on transforming healthcare by improving outcomes that matter most to patients. The Chair of Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) conducts research activities on patient-reported outcome instruments and the real-life impact of collaborative improvement cycles. Since 2017, the Chair organises a series of international VBHC conferences under the High Patronage of the President of the French Republic to transform health systems and reinspire caregivers.

This high-quality training helps you implement your value-driven projects successfully, integrating patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) and making change happen. Flexible and adjusted to your professional activities, our learning journey combines international experts, immersion visits, and real-world case studies to develop your leadership skills and unleash your creative energy.
Program Overview
- VBHC enables healthcare professionals to compare and improve patient outcomes through communities of practice using standardised scorecards combining clinical data (CROMs), quality of life and functional scores (PROMs) and experience measurements (PREMs);
- This collective dynamic of continuous improvement reinspires medical teams by helping them refocus on appropriate care;
- Implementing PROMs and CROMs in routine care requires a standardised, monitored, randomised, and digitised approach adjusted to patient profiles that ensures data integrity;
- VBHC also opens up a new generation of clinical studies and remuneration models centered on patient outcomes and non-financial incentives.
