Abstract
Introduction: Value-based healthcare is a current global trend in health and policy where digital technologies can play an important role to measure what matters to the people. The digitalisation of value-based healthcare is only possible if the care team and people trust in this new concept and the tools provided. In this framework, a participatory co-desing approach was implemented to identify the core elements of an innovative value-based, integrated health and social care delivery model supported by ICT solutions: the VALUECARE model for older people with comorbidities.
Description: The main guiding principles for care delivery have been obtained by means of a literature review. Qualitative data was collected from 369 participants using focus groups and interviews in 6 European countries (Croatia, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Spain & The Netherlands). The eHealth Enhanced Chronic Care Model was used as a heuristic tool to integrate the participants' discourses.
Discussion: The VALUECARE model fits with the features for the integrated care practice facilitating the transformation of care delivery addressing the needs of the growing old population and the rapidly development of technologies.
Conclusion: VALUECARE model highlights best practice value-based, integrated care delivery through the application of a set of 6 guiding principles across 7 different core elements.

Established in 2000, IJIC’s mission is to promote integrated care as a scientific discipline. IJIC’s primary purpose is to examine critically the policy and practice of integrated care and whether and how this has impacted on quality-of-care, user experiences, and cost-effectiveness.
The journal regularly publishes conference supplements and special themed editions. To find out more contact Managing Editor, Susan Royer.
