Value-Based Competition in Health Care Course
We would be pleased to share our teaching materials and collaborate in studying and teaching value-based competition principles. To learn more about our curriculum and discuss how it might be used at your school, please contact Professor Porter (mporter@hbs.edu) or Institute Research Associate Jennifer Baron (jebaron@hbs.edu).
Since the publication of Redefining Health Care, there has been strong interest in how to actually implement the principles of value-based health care delivery in practice. Many organizations have already begun to apply these principles, from large multi- hospital providers, to small group practices, health plans, and employers.
We are committed to develop a body of material to inform and motivate practitioners to restructure and improve care delivery in all parts of the health care system.
The Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness (ISC) at Harvard University is developing a growing body of case studies on health care delivery. These case studies, set in the United States and abroad, provide detailed examples of the strategic, organizational, or process choices involved in moving towards value-based care delivery models. These cases provide a rich understanding of how individual actors can drive change and improve patient outcomes.
Completed Case Studies
In Process
From January 7-11, 2008, Professor Porter, together with Professor Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg and other faculty, will teach an intensive one week, full-time course on value-based health care delivery. This graduate-level course will be held at Harvard Business School and is open by application to Harvard MBA students, MD students and others at Harvard pursuing health care-related courses of study. The course will utilize case studies, guest protagonists, concept lectures, and other materials to present the fundamental principles of value-based competition and examine organizations working to implement those principles in practice.
