International Consortium For Health Outcomes Measurement Inc

Education: ICHOM continues to be the leading organization in terms of convening multi-national learning communities to demonstrate the impact of standardized outcome measurement. In 2024, ICHOM held their annual in-person value-based health care conference in Amsterdam, convening 600+ individuals from 46 countries, participating in seminars and workshops. Complimentary to the conference, ICHOM also provided a free webinar series that shared practical insights from global VBHC implementers. In 2024, ICHOM launched its first Certified VBHC Professional Program, a 15-week, online certificate program designed to equip health professional in VBHC implementation; completion leads to becoming an ICHOM Certified High-Value Health Care Professional.

Set Development: The core of ICHOM's work is the development of ICHOM Sets of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures. ICHOM convenes global patient, clinical, measurement, and research leaders to define outcomes most important to patients and develop consensus-based measure sets. ICHOM facilitates a 12-18-month long process to define each set of outcomes. In 2024 ICHOM launched the Adult Obesity Set, as well as started the development of the Major Injury and Kidney Stone Sets. Another continuation in ICHOM's work has been updating previously published Sets, work necessary to keep the Sets relevant and functional in clinical settings.
