Press Release 02/2025: The IMPROVE Project Hosts the 2nd Community Stakeholder Workshop in Lecce: Advancing Value-Based Health Care
Lecce, Italy – June 5, 2025 – The 2nd Community Stakeholder Workshop of the European-funded IMPROVE Project will take place on June 5, 2025, in Lecce, Italy, starting at 2:45 p.m. at Agriturismo Li Calizzi Arte & Natura in Novoli (LE) and bringing together European healthcare stakeholders to share the progresses and align on the next steps for the large-scale adoption of value-based health care (VBHC) through digital innovation. This event will be held within the IMPROVE consortium meeting and will be jointly hosted by Dedalus and the Regional Strategic Agency for Health and Social Services (AReSS Puglia).
The IMPROVE project, funded under the EU’s Horizon Europe IHI program and coordinated by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, aims to foster the transformation of healthcare delivery by integrating Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) into clinical practice to drive outcome-based, patient-centered care. IMPROVE focuses on enhancing decision-making and innovation using real-world data and digital platforms that support patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), and patient-preference information (PPI) across diverse clinical contexts.
Press Release 01/2025: IMPROVE - International Stakeholders’ Community supports value-based healthcare process
Healthcare systems in the EU region have become increasingly digital. In addition, medical doctors, pharmacists, researchers, politicians, and other experts in the healthcare sector use and exchange a large number of patient-related health data to make better decisions and make the most effective treatment possible. However, to support value-based healthcare, which includes improving the quality of healthcare and increasing patient satisfaction, integrating patients in the knowledge and experience exchange process with health experts is an important component.
For this reason, the Slovenian IMPROVE project partners F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG and Institute for Economic Research executed the 1st International Stakeholders' Community Event on January 23, 2025 in the City Hotel of Ljubljana. The IMPROVE Stakeholders’ Community consisting of experts from academia, politicians, medical doctors, health companies and patients will discuss experiences, expectations, preferences and broader value and potential as well as concerns in the context of patient-generated health data. The event will be executed within the scope of the EU-funded IMPROVE project's transnational project meeting.
Press Release 02/2024: The IMPROVE Project Puts Patient-Generated Health Data On Focus
The IMPROVE project aims to make digital healthcare more efficient by using Patient Generated Health Data central in the analyses of newly developed treatments and solutions. Health care systems in the EU region have become increasingly digital. In addition, medical doctors, pharmacists, researchers, ppoliticians,and other experts in the healthcare sector use and exchange a large number of patient-related health data to make better decisions and use the most effective treatment possible. Nonetheless, the quality of the data exchange is not sufficient due to a lack of standards and efficient ways of using Patient Generated Health Data. Workflows and operating procedures are often not efficient which leads to problems in decision-making processes and patient treatments. Additionally, this increases the costs of health services. The IMPROVE team will develop a platform where certain concepts of gathering and exchanging Patient Generated Health Data will be developed and tested in hospitals in different health areas.
