All of the issues you raise above concerning whose “value” is it that is being measured in value based purchasing I addressed in the fifth chapter of my first book on health care quality (copyright 1991) and the first chapter of my second and third books on disease management (copyrights 1997 and 1998).
Until and unless providers and health plans can be accurately and fairly evaluated and rewarded based on their demonstrable satisfaction of the needs of all stakeholders, value based purchasing will not become the predominant method of reimbursement, (which it must become if it is ever to transform health care delivery in this country).
