The role of the Patient at ICHOM 2025

Patients are integral to ICHOM 2025, shaping the conference not just as participants but as leaders and collaborators.

Their voices are embedded throughout the program—in keynote addresses, case study panels, and sessions they help design and chair.

ICHOM recognizes the unique insights patients bring to value-based healthcare and is committed to creating spaces where those perspectives drive meaningful change. From pre-conference workshops to immersive simulation labs and dedicated networking areas, patients are empowered to share expertise, influence dialogue, and help build a more patient-centered future. Through scholarship support and inclusive programming, ICHOM ensures that patient involvement is not symbolic but truly impactful.

In 2024, our inaugural Patient Scholarship Fund raised $40,000 and supported 32 patients to attend the conference in Amsterdam. Thanks to this, patient representation more than doubled-from 2% to 5% of total delegates.

This year, we aim even higher. With your voice in the room, we can grow that number to 10%.
