Topic covered this year :

• quality of care, i.e. the selection of significant indicators and the measurement of outcomes
• the use of PROMs (Patient Reported Outcomes Measures) and PREMS (Patient Reported Experience Measures) for the evaluation of process and outcome indicators
• efficiency in care (as well as inefficiencies: unnecessarily occupied beds, excessive length of stay, inappropriate care, complications, redundant acts, unnecessary prescriptions, medical errors, fraud, waste, etc.)
• the use of alternatives to hospitalisation (Hospital at Home, day in-patient services, etc.) for a better efficiency/results set
• implementation of integrated care — bundled payments, in particular
• role of prevention and its impacts on medico-economic aspects
