This theme works to measure and understand people’s health and care needs, and evaluate the approaches used to support these.
We work to measure and understand people’s health and care needs, and evaluate the approaches used to support these. This knowledge helps inform the difficult choices to be made in health and social care on what needs should be prioritised, how these should be best addressed, and how the public would prefer this to be done. This will be delivered through the following work:
- Measuring people’s health and care needs: determining and facilitating how best to access and use data to understand regional demands, needs and priorities (particularly through the work of the Data panel)
- Understanding how people want their health and care needs to be met: developing and conducting work to identify preferences around delivery and choices between health and social care interventions
- Understanding what works in meeting people’s health and care needs: contributing to all stages of evaluations of health and care interventions both within the ARC and with external partners across the region
- Increasing capacity for measuring health and care needs: promoting regional analytical capacity to make best use of available data
If you have questions about the work of theme or have interest in working with the team (perhaps if you need a health economic component in a project) please contact a member of the team (links below) to discuss further, or email: adam.wagner@uea.ac.uk.
This new combined theme builds on the work of the previous Population Evidence and Data Science (PEDS) and Health Economics and Prioritisation in health and social care (HEP) themes
