- Abstract
In this article we examine the fragmented interpretation and implementation of a remarkably popular concept, value‐based health care (VBHC). By building on a case study of a project team working on the development of value‐based primary care services for elderly patients, we shed new light on the way in which VBHC transitions from theory to practice. The concept of 'translation' is used to theoretically frame our analysis. Between June 2021 and May 2022, we gathered data through participant observation (50 h), semi‐structured interviews (n = 20) and document analysis (n = 16). Our findings show how VBHC inspired new ways of working, and that, in line with previous studies, parts of the original concept have been neglected, while others have been modified. We identified three reasons for VBHC's locally varied applications: VBHC transforms to enable a growing support base, the originally radical idea is applied conservatively and the concept tends to get mixed up with other policy objectives. In all, VBHC appears to be successful in catalysing cross‐disciplinary interaction aimed at improving value for patients.
