Abstrakt:	Background: Value-Based Health Care (VBHC) is an evolving model of healthcare delivery aimed at achieving better patient outcomes at lower costs to the healthcare provider. The practise of VBHC requires efficient information systems with good reporting capability and subsequent outcome measuring . Information systems within the National Health Service (NHS) are often multiple and not necessarily integrated to one another. We therefore developed a systematic approach to collecting, validating and analysing data from multiple sources and information systems, with the aim of designing and endorsing an automatic system to capture health outcomes data in heart failure to support future VBHC models. Methods: A retrospective cohort of heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction undergoing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) procedures within a limited geographical area in South London were evaluated. A purpose built database was created to integrate, transform and validate health care data from multiple information systems. Results: Validation analysis shows that our implemented methodology has produced a robust dataset. Our limited cohort of 134 patients does not allow for any complex statistical analysis however has identified some important themes related to outcomes and costs. Conclusion: We have created a validated database specific to our Trust that can be upscaled locally with ease and transferred to other health diseases. Due to variations in local procedure from one Trust to another, this methodology now requires implementation across multiple sites to understand differences in transformation of data and outcome measuring.
