H20 SYMPOSIUM

Working Together on Appropriate Care with Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)
On Thursday, March 20, 2025, the Dutch Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O-NL) will organize a symposium around an urgent theme: the future of healthcare.
The healthcare sector is facing unprecedented challenges. How do we ensure quality and efficiency in a complex environment with increasing patient numbers and limited resources?

Appropriate Care is the answer – care that aligns with what really matters to patients. A powerful tool in this is the use of Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs): insights directly from patients about their perceived health and well-being. PROs stimulate shared decision-making, strengthen patients’ self-direction and contribute to more efficient healthcare delivery.
The H2O platform facilitates this movement by providing healthcare providers and patients with insight into healthcare outcomes, including PROs. Together we are working towards a future where care is truly appropriate.
Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) is a European public-private partnership building an ecosystem for outcomes, including PROs, in Europe. Standardization and uniform registration are the key to optimal use of data to achieve Appropriate Care. H2O also offers patients insight into their own data and the opportunity to compare with data from other patients in Europe.
Successful observatories have now been set up in Austria, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands with a focus on cancer, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
H2O Netherlands is organizing a symposium on Thursday, March 20, 2025. There, inspiring speakers will talk about practical examples including implementation, about primary and secondary data use and data infrastructures, European developments now and in the future.

We are pleased to invite you to the H2O Symposium on Thursday, March 20, 2025, where together we will shape the future of Appropriate Care:

‘H2O NL as an Ecosystem for Appropriate Care’

Why you should not miss this symposium

• Discover the power of PROs: Learn how these outcomes contribute not only to better clinical outcomes, but also to personalized and more efficient care.
• Inspirational speakers and case studies: Experts share insights and specifically address implementation
• Understanding data infrastructure, primary and secondary data usage within H2O NL and developments in Europe

The importance of PROs for tomorrow’s care

• Focus on what matters: PROs provide clear insight into the outcomes that matter most to patients.
• Supporting the patient as director: Providing outcome data back to patients including the possibility of comparison with patients in Europe puts patients in charge.
• Efficiency and effectivity in complex healthcare environments: understanding outcomes helps healthcare organizations make targeted decisions and generates efficiencies.
