17.00 CET: Keynote – Michael van den Berg (Policy analyst at Health Division OECD) about “The PaRIS-initiative: a joined effort to make the patients’ voice heard”
Are health systems truly delivering what people need? Often, we do not know. Health systems collect massive amounts of data on inputs, spending and activities but the outcomes achieved for patients and how they experience care are rarely measured in a systematic and rigorous way. Most of us agree that healthcare should put people and their needs at the centre, now it is time to walk the talk. More than 20 countries have joined OECD’s Patient Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS)-initiative; together with patients, providers, policy makers and academics PaRIS will address a major gap in knowledge and develops the first International Survey of People Living with Chronic Conditions.
