ICHOM Learning Collaboratives

Measure What Matters Most, and Drive Improvement through Comparison and Collaboration.

ICHOM Learning Collaboratives are networks of Collaborating Partners with a specific objective to assess, learn, innovate and improve clinical practice.

They’re based on ICHOM’s Sets of Patient-Centred Outcomes Measures, and powered by our Accelerated Insights Solution - a partnership of data collection and federated learning technology which makes comparing ICHOM Set outcomes fast and secure.

ICHOM Learning Collaboratives enable:

  • Assessment and comparison of patient outcomes across global sites
  • Learning from performance variations to drive local improvement efforts
  • ​Identification of predictors of better/worse patient outcomes
  • Defining qualitative benchmarks of excellence, serving as a reference for providers worldwide
  • Description of outcomes for specific patient sub-groups
  • Generating real world evidence for researching new therapies, drugs, medical devices

ICHOM Breast Cancer Learning Collaborative

ICHOM has convened a network of global breast cancer treatment experts who work together to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. The collaborative serves to share best practices, and identify areas for learning including optimal clinical pathways, equity, and shared decision-making. Phase I is 2 years with 4-5 participants. The following participants have confirmed their agreements for Phase 1 with several others currently reviewing and completing the Memorandums of Understanding:

  • The Royal Melbourne Hospital (Australia)
  • Saint-Luc UCL (Belgium)
  • Sheba Medical Center (Israel)
  • Erasmus Medical Center (Netherlands)
  • Santa Rita Hospital (Brazil)
  • Hospital Nossa Senhora das Graças (Brazil)

We are in the process of recruiting an additional US-based hospital, specialized in Breast Cancer treatment and collecting patient outcomes data to join this exciting initiative.

How ICHOM Learning Collaboratives benefit your organization:

Industry

Learning collaboratives are one of the best ways to support innovation in healthcare and protect product differentiation.

Generate real-world clinical evidence for fundamental and applied medical research, via observations and hypotheses, and test them via RRcT’s.

Learning networks also provide opportunities to test new products or protocols of their use, generate observations that can help to identify exact needs of clinicians to guide product development

Insurers

Identify objectively which providers are delivering the best care for patients - reward the best, and drive improved standards from others.

Support informed decision making among your customers (patients)- people are more likely to require your services if their treatment takes place at providers using ICHOM Sets.

Become known for improving Population health.

Healthcare Providers & Hospitals

Position your organisation as a leader in patient care - demonstrating delivery and continuous improvement in the outcomes that matter most to patients. Foundation for improved, QoL based reimbursement. Attract better staff.

Access results quickly and securely with a “plug and play” solution.

Patient Representative Groups

Demonstrate - to members, supporters and care providers -  that a model which puts patient wellbeing at the heart of care has better outcomes.

Other Convening Organisations

The ICHOM Accelerated Insights solution allows you to quickly and easily compare like-for-like outcomes, without data leaving a provider site.

“It’s not only important to collect outcomes data – they have to be based on standardized criteria, so you can compare these results wherever they occur.”
