EHMA - European Health Management Association’s Post

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

🔔 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.

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!!!

Grateful to have completed a transformative digital health course, a collaboration between Queen Mary University of London and Ain Shams University. Excited to apply these insights to shape the future of healthcare! 🌐💡 #DigitalHealth #EducationPartnership"

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.
