Patients

Make sure your provider is doing what’s best for you

ICHOM is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to transforming healthcare by focusing on what truly matters to you, the patient.

Our aim is to amplify your voice by taking into account your experience and insights to improve patient outcomes and therefore shaping the future of healthcare and health systems. This year we have created two programs to empower patients:

The Patient Charter

The ICHOM Patient Charter, provides a framework to further strengthen partnerships with patients and patient communities built on equity, trust, and respect. The ICHOM Patient Charter outlines our commitments to the patient community, and comprises eight statements relating to the empowerment actions and ways of working that patients can expect when collaborating with ICHOM.

Working with Patients

The Patient Partner Alliance

At ICHOM, we are thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with patient organizations for a groundbreaking joint-promotion campaign! Our mission is to elevate patients to equal partners in their care, empowering them through shared decision-making. We believe that every patient’s voice matters, and we are committed to ensuring that their needs are recognized, valued, and actively sought after.

This collaboration aims to bring together organizations that share ICHOM's vision, promoting the use of ICHOM Sets and emphasizing the importance of patient outcomes across their networks. Together, we can revolutionize patient care and make a real difference.

If you are a patient organization passionate about enhancing patient care, we would love to have you join us on this incredible journey! Please reach out to s.gray@ICHOM.org to get involved.

Together, we can create a future where patient voices are heard and valued, and patient outcomes are prioritized.
