It takes two to dance the VBHC tango: A multiple case study of the adoption of value-based strategies in Sweden and Brazil

A comparison of two case studies, for the adoption of VBHC in Sweden and Brazil

This report provides insights into the complex interactions involved in the adoption of value-based strategies. For both case studies, it describes the problem, the innovation and the adoption system implemented.

The report finds that the two case studies investigated emphasised either health outcomes or costs in their strategic – not both. In addition, the changes required to implement VBHC can create tensions with traditional business models.

Ultimately, an effective VBHC transformation requires a systematic and systemic approach. All stakeholders should clearly define the purpose and the scope of the transformation, and together steer their actions and decisions accordingly.
