Goals

To create a shared framework to study sustainability in healthcare (systems) to be used to answer questions on the four themes: care for older individuals, labor market and personnel sustainability, health financing and prevention.
To measure the impact of transformative changes on sustainability.
To further develop and operationalize health technology assessment (HTA) lifecycle approaches including early HTA and disinvestment in low-value care to make better choices on all levels of the healthcare system. This involves creating a knowledge hub on sustainable and proper use of care.
