HealthPros & Covid-19
In the light of the current Covid-19 pandemic we are aware that a lot of research activities are developed to address the spread, prevention, diagnoses and treatment of the coronavirus. However, also attention is needed on the impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems and societies all over the world. The European Commission is trying to identify projects which may contribute to addressing Covid-19 from all scientific fields. As HealthPros is a large EU-funded Training Network with access to many different databases and holds interdisciplinary expertise, we do see the opportunity, but also feel the obligation, to apply the projects within our Network to address where possible a number of these questions linked to healthcare systems responsiveness and impact on health outcomes, both on the short and long term. Timely development and uptake of performance intelligence to help govern our health care services and systems through the various phases of this pandemic is crucial. We are currently assessing the possibilities to contribute to that goal via our research and will keep you updated via our media channels (website, LinkedIn, twitter) on the progress.
Training network overview
HealthPros is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network for Healthcare Performance Intelligence Professionals, running from January 2018 – 2022. HealthPros trains 13 PhD candidates (HealthPros fellows) into a first generation of Healthcare Performance Intelligence Professionals that can make effective use of available healthcare performance data in countries to improve integrated service delivery, patient engagement, equality in access to healthcare, health outcomes, and reduce waste in healthcare.
HealthPros ("Performance Intelligence Professionals") is designed to train international analysts that will be able to systematically link health data and strategic planning decisions. Through a new discipline of "Performance Intelligence in Health", HealthPros is expanding the breadth of human resources that can be employed by research institutions, private companies and government institutions, to turn health information into actions aimed at continuously improving health systems and services.
The training network brings together leading academics in the field of data science and health care performance assessment and improvement, as well as a wider immersion community, including stakeholders such as health insurance companies, national and regional agencies, multi-national consulting and pharma companies.
The HealthPros Training Network provides an innovative 3-years programme of collaborative, multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial training to the PhD candidates. Through innovative research, HealthPros is developing tools and implement methods to streamline healthcare performance measurement, the development and application of performance-based governance mechanisms and effective use of Healthcare Performance Intelligence by different end-users, that match the different health care systems in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, UK, Italy, Hungary and Canada, and will support the transferability of the tools and methods to other countries.
