A new era of healthcare
The IEEPO Position Paper was developed based on global community demand and call to action to empower change and transformation of healthcare systems.
Humanising Healthcare: A call for transformational change
The IEEPO Position Paper represents the unified voice of the global patient community, calling for a fundamental shift in how we deliver healthcare. This document outlines a bold vision for transformation, one that puts people at the centre of care. It is informed not only by the work of four IEEPO domains under the leadership of the External Advisory Committee and the IEEPO programme chair but also IEEPO Global meetings, the 2021 IEEPO global patient community survey, research into the state of healthcare around the world and interviews with multi-stakeholder experts.
The Paper contains an analysis of specific areas the IEEPO community and contributors see as pressing and in need of change. The Paper works as a practical roadmap for change with actionable solutions for governments, healthcare providers, industry, and communities worldwide. Each chapter focuses on a core call to action:
- 1. Putting people at the heart of healthcare
- 2. Humanising health literacy
- 3. Humanising digital healthcare to build capacity by harnessing the power of patient data
- 4. Humanising healthcare to focus on prevention and cure with a new 50:50 model
- 5. Prioritising inclusion to humanise approaches to healthcare
