TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE GLOBALLY
THE ICHOM GLOBAL VIRTUAL CONGRESS 2021

Remote monitoring is becoming a standard in cancer patients after the positivity of 7 randomized trials showing improvement of quality of life, symptom burden reduction, and survival.It can be used for toxicity of treatments management, for relapse or complications detection and for supportive and palliative care delivery. Criteria of choice of the instrument are in discussion and will be published by the European Society of Medical Oncology in a few months. It will provide criteria of security, efficacy and practical information for medical team to improve the spread of validated solutions.

In countries like India, South Africa, and Ghana, diabetes has emerged as a major driver of both health outcomes and long-term costs. Yet their health systems are not yet well-equipped to meet the needs of people living with diabetes. As these countries chart a path toward Universal Health Coverage, they will need to expand programs to prevent and manage diabetes. This session engages innovators at the forefront of the movement. We will hear from the perspectives of a patient, provider, and payer on the challenges and opportunities they face in their work.

The session will provide an update on the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project which is funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative and started a year ago. H2O is a private-public partnership that sets up a multi-jurisdictional ecosystem to incorporate patient-reported and other health outcomes into health care decision-making in four European countries. It initially focuses on diabetes, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease, evaluating and selecting meaningful outcome standards in a way that ensures broad acceptability among all stakeholders. H2O provides digital tools for patients and a dashboard for providers. It develops a governance system that gives patients control over their data and allows for ethical data sharing. In our talk, we will also present ways to get involved in this initiative.

Please join Elizabeth Teisberg, Alice Andrews and Scott Wallace of the Value Institute for Health and Care (University of Texas at Austin), and Dr. Paul M. Wallang, MD, of St. Andrew’s Healthcare for a highly-interactive discussion of the care transformation underway at St. Andrew’s Healthcare in England. Driven to achieve the health outcomes that mattered most to their patients, an ambitious team of clinicians at St. Andrew’s fundamentally restructured care delivery and is driving ongoing improvement through insights from carefully measuring outcomes. This session will be limited to 40 participants, advance registration is required, and participants should expect to spend approximately one hour reading the case before the session.
