19th - 23rd February 2024
Data-Driven Healthcare Transformation
a 5-day winter school
University of Pavia, Italy
The DDHT school is part of Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) - fostering internationalization in EU Universities.
Thanks to the partnership of Stockholm University and University of Turku
Objectives
The DDHT school objective is to introduce and discuss the challenges and potential solutions for positively transforming health systems, focusing on three notable examples of “Beveridge-style” health systems: the Italian SSN, the Canadian Medicare and the British NHS.
The concept of a Learning Health System (LHS) is introduced and leveraged as a trait-d’union while proposing an integrated approach at the crossroads of Engineering, Management and Information systems for the continuous improvement of modern health systems.
Attendees with different backgrounds (including students and early-career researchers in Engineering, Management and Information systems interested in applications in health services; healthcare practitioners working in healthcare organizations of various size; and administrators/health policymakers) will acquire a basic understanding of LHS and quality improvement state-of-the art methodologies that have a role in healthcare transformation, and be exposed to selected real-world examples of their application in the health systems sector.

Format and Topics
The winter school will take place over 5 days (Mon - Fri) and be completely taught in English. The school offers a hybrid format.
In-person participation is encouraged to make the most of the learning experience, live discussion, hands-on sessions and networking.
Online-only registration is also possible, for those willing to join remotely.

The high-level program for the five days consists in:
Day 1. The Context: health systems and how they “learn” and improve
Day 2. Getting and organizing the Data: Information systems and health informatics
Day 3. From data to knowledge: Analytics and AI
Day 4. From knowledge to practice change: Supporting clinical care and research
Day 5. Innovation in healthcare, and Final presentations/exam and wrap-up
Virtual (Zoom) follow-up. after going back to their home institution and country, check if the attendees have found opportunities to apply the new skills and knowledge from ddht winter school
Topics covered include:
Learning Health Systems
Biomedical informatics
Health information systems (including EHRs, CPOEs, CDSSs, etc.)
Health data integration and interoperability
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Health
Patient-generated data
Bias and inequities in digital health data
Operations research and optimization
Informatics support to biomedical research
Innovation management in the healthcare sector
Transforming Healthcare: an Interdisciplinary Approach (THIA)
A blended winter school with internationally renowned experts
In 2023 we are offering THIA as an integrated course composed of 2 modules
Module A "Discovering the unknown: AI in healthcare (III Edition)" - Pavia, 11-15 Dec 2023 - organized by the Department of Economics
Module B "Data-Driven Healthcare Transformation" - Pavia, 19-22 Feb 2024 - organized by the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering
Each of Module A and Module B is a self-sufficient winter schools that can be attended in isolation. For a more comprehensive learning experience follow both courses.
