We transform strategic priorities into actionable reforms with measurable impact for citizens and health systems.

Modern health systems are required to respond to complex challenges related to sustainability, population ageing, increasing health needs, health crises, digital transformation, and ensuring the quality and safety of provided services.

The Euro-Mediterranean Institute for Quality and Safety in Health Services supports governmental bodies, health organizations, public and private providers, as well as international organizations in the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of reforms and strategic interventions in the health sector.

Our approach is based on the principles of evidence-informed health policy, clinical governance, risk management, patient safety, and value creation for citizens and health systems.

The services include, indicatively:

• Development of national and regional health strategies.
• Design and reorganization of public health and surveillance systems.
• Health service reform studies and redesign of care delivery models.
• Development of clinical governance and quality assurance frameworks.
• Development of data governance frameworks.
• Design of data-driven decision-making mechanisms.
• Development of national monitoring and evaluation frameworks.
• Design and implementation of national patient safety programs.
• Development of national quality and performance assessment frameworks for health organizations.
• Design and implementation of digital transformation programs in health.
• Development of mechanisms for measuring health outcomes, quality indicators, and patient experience (PROMs/PREMs).
• Support in designing and operating national networks and cooperation mechanisms.
• Development of roadmaps, action plans, and monitoring frameworks for the implementation of policies and quality assurance measures in health.
• Evaluation of health policies, programs, and interventions.

The added value of the service lies in the combined utilization of expertise in public health, quality, patient safety, clinical governance, and organizational development.

The Institute has experience in designing and supporting national policies, quality frameworks, surveillance systems, evaluation mechanisms, and health service transformation programs, leveraging international standards and best practices from the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Commission, the OECD, and other international bodies.

Through a systematic and evidence-informed approach, we contribute to the creation of resilient, efficient, and people-centered health systems capable of responding to current and future needs of citizens and health professionals.
