FROM TECHNOCRACY TO EVOLUTION The EHMA European Health Management Association congress has just ended. A gathering that represents the best of management research in healthcare systems. These were the main topics: People-centred systems Health technology and digital transformation  Workforce of the future Sustainable and resilient health systems Healthcare access, delivery and outcomes. As ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA DI HEALTH COACHING® we had the opportunity to present a poster on the Human-Tech model showed for the very first time at our Meeting Lab 2023. It was interesting to discover that other researchers have identified the need to develop human potential as the real recipe for generating progress from innovation, as well. In this, the models for creating the new health management leadership must be rethought. As Italian Health Coaches we hope to be able to contribute with our capacity for empowerment to the acceleration of this process of professional growth and educational upgrading. Hopefully bringing some papers in EHMA Rennes 2025 in collaboration with Universities or Public Health Institutions!!!

SUSTAIN-HTA (Support Utilisation of Sustainable and TAilored INnovative methods for HTA) is a European collaborative project that aims to assist in aligning HTA methodologies across Europe.   💡 This initiative, involving a consortium of leading universities, HTA bodies, SMEs, and a NGO, led by Utrecht University, aims to focus on high-priority challenges in the assessment of innovative health technologies, working in close collaboration with the research community and building on recent advancements in HTA research. 🌐 Find out more about who we are and how we aim to align health technology assessment for a sustainable future at sustain-hta.org.  #SUSTAIN_HTA #HorizonEurope #HealthTechnologyAssessment #HTA

Insightful study; its findings closely align with the regional disease burden, underscoring the pressing need for enhanced primary healthcare services. Encouraging the integration of AI and remote patient monitoring (RPM) in managing NCDs and mental health conditions could significantly reduce service gaps by improving early detection and continuous monitoring.

Long time coming!! Just want share our recently published paper, titled "Development of a prioritisation framework to aid healthcare funding decision-making in health technology assessment (HTA) in Australia: application of multi-criteria decision analysis", in Value in Health! During my time at Griffith University, I had the privilege of collaborating with an exceptional team (Son Nghiem, Mel Miller, joshua byrnes and Paul Scuffham) for this research. Our study focused on developing an innovative prioritisation framework using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to enhance healthcare funding decisions in Australia. Key Highlights: MCDA Framework: We created a comprehensive framework that integrates multiple criteria and stakeholder preferences to guide health technology assessments. Stakeholder Preferences: Our findings reveal that Australian policymakers prioritise 'Patient-Level Health Outcomes' and 'Social and Ethical Values' over cost considerations. Practical Utility: This framework offers a transparent and cost-effective decision-aid tool, supporting informed healthcare funding decisions and resource allocation. A huge thank you to the Centre for Applied Health Economics (CAHE) and all the participants who contributed to our preference survey and pilot study. Your insights were invaluable in shaping this research. I am incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to seeing how our work can influence healthcare policy and funding decisions in Australia and beyond. 📖 Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/eZcAuWEF #Healthcare #Research #MCDA #HTA #HealthcareFunding #GriffithUniversity #ValueInHealth #Collaboration #Innovation

IMPROVING HEALTHCARE QUALITY BY USING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION by Dr Amna Butt 1. Developing therapeutic relationships, practising active listening skills, and becoming proficient in nonverbal communication are all part of the diverse skill set required for effective communication in the healthcare industry. 2. To provide patient-centred care and promote favourable results, it is imperative that healthcare personnel put time and effort into learning these abilities. 3. Healthcare workers can improve patient care, foster pleasant patient experiences, and improve overall healthcare outcomes by building trust, exhibiting empathy, and using active listening and nonverbal communication skills. https://lnkd.in/dZM2BmkK
