The CAPHRI research line ‘Creating Value-Based Health Care’ aims to contribute to the improvement of population health and wellbeing through better health systems, services and products in all areas of the health care chain.
Research is being conducted in order to innovate and create value at a macro, meso and micro level, balancing societal, organizational and personal values in a reality of scarcity.

VHC consists of health economists from the department of Health Services Research, International Health and KEMTA. It also comprises two Living labs: the living lab Sustainable Care Limburg (focusing on research on how to develop a future-proof healthcare system by delivering appropriate care, in the right place, by the right person and for the right price) and the living lab Public Health Limburg (a network organization in which staff of the 18 municipalities of Southern Limburg, Maastricht University Medical Centre and the regional Public Health Service share their knowledge and expertise with the aim of improving public health).
