Improving Quality of Care in Europe

Objetivo

Improving quality of care has been given too little attention in health economic research in the past although it is the central
goal of health care systems in Europe. The proposed ETN on “Improving Quality of Care in Europe (IQCE)” aims to address
this gap and has the following aims: 1) Create new evidence and improve existing health economic research in the field of
quality of care. Research gaps are addressed by empirical, theoretical and experimental approaches with a focus on
innovative econometric methods using novel access to databases. 2) Establish a close link of the topical PhD projects to
health policy and practice ensuring high relevance and practical applicability of results. Implementation of project results can
potentially enhance performance of European health care systems. 3) Train PhD fellows to be experts in the field of quality
of care and obtain excellent profiles for different career paths in health economic research or practice. 4) contribute to better
coordination of currently fragmented health economic research in Europe. This will improve the competitive position of
European health economic research. 5) serve as a model for joint doctorate programmes in health economics in Europe.
This will drive the development of PhD programmes in health economics in Europe, which currently are scarce.
To address these aims, the research programme consists of research clusters: (a) effectiveness & safety, (b) efficiency, (c)
access & equitability, and (d) acceptability (WP2-5). Clusters also define secondments and joint research activities of one
cluster. Across clusters, scientific training courses, soft-skill-courses and research-in-progress workshops will provide new
skills and ensure interaction and exchange between PhD fellows (WP6). The strong participation of the non-academic sector
in courses, workshops, acting as hosts, providing research data, or acting as practice mentors for PhD fellows will ensure
transfer of research into practice (WP7).
