Abstract: Abstract When developing and implementing integrated care services, decision makers need to create complex business models involving many stakeholders, both for-profit and non-profit, and rely on reimbursement from statutory health and social care bodies as well as on other revenue streams. The needs of these stakeholders have to be identified and duly balanced within the framework of what is possible. This requires the handling of a large amount of economic data, the capacity to anticipate future developments, and creativity in dealing with unintended consequences. Furthermore, the development of a business model is likely to involve stakeholders that are not economic experts. We present a combined approach to business model development that allows stakeholders to get acquainted with economic assessments through active learning and to carry out their own assessment and business model development.
