ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ R and ICHOM announce a strategic collaboration to promote the adoption of value-based care and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). This partnership aims to enhance the quality and transparency of healthcare services worldwide by integrating ICHOM's expertise into ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's renowned hospital rankings.

Hamburg, Germany, and Boston, USA. In a significant step towards advancing value-based care, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ R, known for creating data-driven rankings, has partnered with ICHOM, a global non-profit dedicated to transforming healthcare. This collaboration aims to prioritize the measurement of patient reported outcomes and drive enhancements in the delivery of value-based care.

"We are delighted that we at ICHOM will add our expertise to advance the inclusion of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in the the ranking of "The World’s Best Hospitals". As health systems increasingly look to prioritize outcomes that matter, we believe that these standardized, patient co-designed and internationally vetted sets will increasingly become the yardstick to assess and improve quality in care”, remarked Dr. Neo Tapela, Chief Scientific Officer at ICHOM, on the collaboration.

As part of this initiative, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ will incorporate ICHOM as a knowledge partner in the methodology of its global hospital rankings, including the highly regarded "World's Best Hospitals" and "World's Best Specialized Hospitals" lists. This integration will ensure that the rankings reflect a comprehensive understanding of patient-centered outcomes and portray the global drive towards the implementation of PROMs in hospitals.

Marc Berg, Chief Executive Officer of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, added, "Our strategic partnership with ICHOM drives healthcare excellence and solidifies our leadership position in hospital rankings. Our rankings are setting the standard for quality of care and innovation in healthcare delivery worldwide."

ICHOM, in turn, endorses ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's methodology and will advise on the development of the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ PROMs implementation survey. Moreover, ICHOM will promote the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ rankings among its network of healthcare professionals and policymakers, further amplifying the impact of this collaboration.

Jennifer Bright, President of ICHOM, comments: "It's terrific to work with ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ to ensure a future where measuring what matters to patients is the driving force behind global improvement in health. It's ICHOM's vision and mission, and we are glad to contribute to the World's Best Hospitals initiative."

Hubertus Bitting, Chief Commercial Officer at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, stated, "In collaboration with ICHOM, we're spearheading the promotion of value-based care and patient-reported outcome measures. Through our global hospital rankings, we're pioneering a transformative approach to healthcare that prioritizes patient-centricity, innovation, and excellence."

ICHOM's endorsement acknowledges the importance of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's hospital rankings in driving value-based care, encouraging hospitals to focus on outcomes crucial to patients.
