Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to determine patient value and its variability drivers within multiple disease domains

Value-based healthcare implies that stakeholders in the healthcare field are continuously seeking how to improve processes and treatment decisions from a patient’s perspective, this by connecting outcome to cost. Outcomes are not limited to clinical measures (CROMs), but more and more also entail patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient reported experience measures (PREMs). This project examines how processes on the patient level can be altered and thus costs and quality can be impacted by making an explicit link to more than out outcome simultaneously. The project is multidisciplinary and integrates the domains of operations management, management accounting and medicine.
