2/3 Quality of Health Care Spotlight Series
Tuesday 15 March 2022, 12:00-13:00 CET
Clinical guidelines are evidence-informed recommendations intended to optimize patient care. A valid guideline has the potential to influence care outcomes, but for that it needs to be effectively disseminated and implemented so it can inform care processes.
If developed and implemented according to international standards, clinical guidelines have the potential to improve quality of care by assessing the benefits and harms of alternative care options and reducing unwarranted practice variations.
What are the opportunities and challenges in developing clinical guidelines in Europe? Is there potential for more collaboration? What role have clinical guidelines played in the COVID-19 pandemic? What are the key lessons to be learned? Join us to find out!
Keynote: Corinna Schäfer, Medical Centre for Quality in Medicine, Germany [ÄZQ]
This is one of the three webinars of the Quality of Health Care spotlight series.
This spotlight series consists of three webinars covering different quality strategies:
- health technology assessment (HTA);
- developing and implementing clinical guidelines; and
- using financial incentives in paying for quality (P4Q).
We investigate key policy questions associated with quality of care, bringing together evidence from research and country experiences. We review the potential challenges and opportunities of these quality strategies and consider how they are influenced by their unique settings.
We also explore the role of cross-country collaboration in HTA systems, the impact of COVID-19 on the development of clinical guidelines, and the effectiveness of P4Q programmes in health systems across Europe.
