  • the creation of the Belgian College of Pharmaceutical Medicine (BCPM) in 2001, in conjunction with both Belgian Medicine Academia (Flemish and French speaking) and the Fellowship in Pharmaceutical Medicine

    Healixia lunchmeeting: Value Based Healthcare

    Grimbergen

    There are 396 places available.

    In this session, we will explore how value-based healthcare (VBHC) provides a philosophy and instrument to redirect our healthcare system. 

    Prof. Brecht Cardoen, Vlerick business school & KU Leuven, will sketch the theoretical framework on VBHC and its implementation. Prof. Dr. Jo Lambert, UZ Gent, illustrates this with real life examples from her own practice.
