mission

The Chair of Innovation & Value in Health conducts teaching and research activities focusing on Value-Based Health Care (VBHC), a standardized approach comparing patient health gains in real-life. We train decision-makers to pioneer value-driven initiatives where patient outcome is central. The Chair also promotes academic research on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and the interplay of monetary and non-monetary incentives on high-value care.

As part of the Université Paris Cité Medical School – one of the largest and most selective in Europe – the Chair organizes a series of VBHC conferences to accelerate the transformation of healthcare systems.

Value-Based Health Care
Graduate Program

The Université Paris Cité offers a unique VBHC Graduate Program to help pragmatic leaders make high-value care a reality. This hybrid training program includes VBHC concepts, implementation methods, use cases, immersion visits and outstanding networking opportunities. Each year, from July to December, a small group of participants interacts with world-class experts and mentors around a series of operational challenges:

  • Mobilize internal resources around a standardized value agenda;
  • Build a community of practice with iterative improvement loops;
  • Make outcome data independent, insightful and actionable;
  • Involve patients in shared decision-making;
  • Transform care pathways with patient case-mix adjustment;
  • Incentivize high-value care with interplay of remuneration & reputation;
  • Purchase devices and drugs through value-based procurement.

 

Pioneering Value-Based Health Care is essentially about leadership. This six-month part-time graduate program is an outstanding learning opportunity to challenge yourself, meet other talents, and stimulate your mind. All in one semester.
