In their recent scoping review, van Elten et al examined the role of performance management in VBHC but adopted a narrow focus on patient-perceived outcomes. This commentary extends their findings by highlighting two key recommendations: expanding performance measurement beyond patient-perceived value to include provider experience, innovation, and transparency, and implementing generic patient population dashboards to streamline VBHC monitoring. Drawing on practical implementation experience at Dutch academic hospitals, we propose broadening literature search criteria to include cross-organizational studies and grey literature from established VBHC organizations. Furthermore, we outline criteria—identified through co-design sessions with healthcare professionals—for selecting generic indicators and designing dashboards that support efficient, organization-wide VBHC monitoring. These insights seek to enhance the theoretical and practical understanding of VBHC monitoring while promoting the advancement of transparent, value-driven healthcare systems.
