Challenging the status quo : a scoping review of value-based care models in cardiology and electrophysiology
Authors' conclusion
New VBHC models have the potential to improve the care process and patient experience while optimizing the costs. The implementation of this model has been insufficient mainly because it requires substantial changes in the existing infrastructures and local organization, the need to track adherence to guidelines, and the evaluation of the quality of life improvement and patient satisfaction, among others.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Implementation of VBHC models in cardiology and electrophysiology still in its infant stages
- Clear need to modify current organizational structure to establish cross-functional teams with the patient at the centre of care
- Adoption of new reimbursement schemes crucial to moving the process forward
- Implementation of technologies for data analysis and patient management poses challenges to the change process
