🔔 The Call for Abstracts at #EHMA2025! How do we build health systems that are not only financially sound but also equitable and resilient? At #EHMA2025, we are seeking the brightest ideas and cutting-edge research to help answer this question. If your work explores the financial foundations of health systems and innovative strategies for sustainable care delivery, this is your chance to share your insights with leaders across Europe and beyond. Health is a fundamental right, and equitable access to high-quality care depends on financially sustainable health systems. At the European Health Management Conference, decision-makers, health managers, and care professionals will come together to exchange ideas and best practices on navigating the economic factors that shape our health systems. The conference will also explore how to design financing strategies that enhance access to care and ensure long-term sustainability. High-level conversations on health economics and finance are crucial, especially as we face the challenge of making health systems more resilient and financially secure. Optimising spending, investing in innovation, and adopting value-based decision-making can improve care delivery while ensuring efficient resource allocation. Health managers, responsible for the financial sustainability of health systems, are in a key position to lead these important discussions. ‘Finance and Economics’ is one of the five tracks shaping the programme of EHMA2025, reflecting current trends in healthcare. If your research focuses on healthcare spending drivers, resource allocation models, or any related topics in health system finance and economics, we encourage you to share your findings with a wide audience of experts, policy-makers, and healthcare professionals. 📥 Submit your abstract by Wednesday, 15 January 2025, 10:00 CET.

It was a very enlightening session at the DEAL Fellowship session this afternoon, participating in a lecture on “Implementation Research in Public Health", delivered by Dr. Olayinka Obanewa, Head of Special Duties at the FCTA Health Service and Environment Secretariat. He delved into critical areas of Implementation Research in public health, from general definition (in simple terms), to categories of theories/models/frameworks used in implementation research, methodology, outcomes, and importance of Implementation Research; including how implementation research can be leveraged for evidence-based practice in public health to maximize impact of interventions. While this is not a totally new topic for me, it was good to gain new insights into many grey areas. Here are my key takeaways from the session: -      Implementation research focuses on understanding how to effectively implement and scale up evidence-based interventions, programs, or policies in real-world settings. -      It aims to identify the most effective strategies for overcoming barriers to implementation and ensuring that interventions are delivered as intended. -      It aims to bridge the gap between research and practice to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services. -      It is a transdisciplinary venture and a convergence of different research perspectives. It involves economics, policy, organizational researchers, anthropologists, social workers, and most importantly the communities. -      Benefits of Implementation research include: o  Enhance effectiveness of interventions o  Increased efficiency in delivery of services o  Enhanced scalability and sustainability of interventions o  Better understanding of context-specific factors influencing implementation o  Provide opportunity for stakeholder engagement o  More effective use of resources -  Desired outcomes in Implementation research include: o  Implementation Outcomes: like acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, costs, penetration and sustainability o  Service outcomes: Efficiency, effectiveness, safety, equity, patient centeredness, timeliness o  Patient Outcome: Patient satisfaction, Health status/symptoms Thanks @Dr. Olayinka Obanewa for the insightful session. #PublicHealth   #ImplementationScience   #ImplementationReseach             #DEALFellowship2024  #WestAfricanInstituteofPublicHealth             #AcademyofPublicHealth

It has been some time, but I would like to share a study from our research group (Erik Montagna, Joseval Viana, Nayara Rodrigues e Paulo do Nascimento), which earned 2nd place in the Eric Roger Wroclawski Award in the "Health Economics and Management" category, organized by the journal einstein(São Paulo) of the Hospital Albert Einstein. 🔍 Our study focused on the economic impact of healthcare litigation on the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), the public healthcare system in Brazil. We proposed the establishment of a mediation office aimed at reducing the costs associated with these legal processes, benefiting patients, the community, and the system as a whole. 📊 Our findings demonstrated that this solution effectively optimizes resources and strengthens the sustainability of SUS, promoting a more equitable and efficient healthcare system. This recognition underscores our commitment to driving innovative public health solutions. #HealthEconomics #PublicHealth #SUS #HealthSystemSustainability #HealthManagement

I am thrilled to announce that Sir Geoff Mulgan will be presenting at the upcoming Imperial College Leading Systemic Innovation in Healthcare programme starting on 18th November! In a world facing complex, interconnected challenges, creating holistic health systems that can serve both individuals and communities is increasingly critical—and incredibly difficult. Building such systems requires collaboration across diverse sectors, balancing local needs with national priorities, and creating frameworks that encourage both innovation and cohesion. The challenge lies not only in the vision but in the ability to drive collective action effectively at both local and national levels, ensuring coordination that enables sustainable, impactful transformation. This is why we are excited to welcome Sir Geoff Mulgan to share his unparalleled experience and insights. As Director of the Government’s Strategy Unit and Head of Policy at the Prime Minister's Office under former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Geoff navigated the intricacies of aligning high-level policy with ground-level implementation, a skill that is crucial for health system transformation.. His pioneering work in collective intelligence—the practice of tapping into diverse perspectives and insights to solve complex problems—brings an invaluable dimension to the task of uniting stakeholders around a shared purpose. In his session, “Turning Vision into Action: Enabling Collaboration and Systems Change in Healthcare,” Geoff will delve into the strategies and frameworks needed to overcome the barriers to effective collective action. He will address the unique challenges of coordinating between local and national initiatives, ensuring that actions at every level contribute to a cohesive, resilient healthcare system. By fostering collaboration between different actors and harnessing collective intelligence, Geoff’s approach provides a pathway for leaders to bridge divides, mobilise resources, and drive systemic change that truly benefits populations across all regions. Geoff’s expertise in both policy and grassroots innovation is especially relevant in today’s healthcare landscape, where the coordination between localised care initiatives and national health priorities often determines the success of systemic reforms. We look forward to an inspiring, insightful session that will empower our participants to tackle healthcare’s most pressing challenges with a practical, collaborative and action-oriented mindset.
