Research collaboration with Cattolica University in Rome
Linn Nathalie Støme, researcher in Forhelse and special advisor in TIPS at Oslo University Hospital, is this spring a visiting researcher at Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli and ALTEMS (Graduate School of Health Economics and Management), at Cattolica University.
In Rome, Linn Støme collaborates with a professional community that has important expertise in Early Health Technology Assessment (eHTA) in Europe, especially within digital health and AI. The researchers from Cattolica University lead a large European project, EDiHTA, which is about creating a separate HTA framework for digital health with an associated toolkit. This is a project in which Norwegian actors such as the National Center for e-Health Research (NSE) and Vestre Viken also play key roles.
During her guest stay, Støme teaches the course Health Technology Assessment at the Faculty of Economics. In the courses, she uses examples from projects that have been carried out in Forhelse and at TIPS, Oslo University Hospital. In one of the cases, it is looked at how to use video consultations to solve bottlenecks in patient processes and model economic effects. The course participants also participate in validating a simulation model through the integration of data from an RCT (Randomized Control Study).
— By being close to the coordinating environment in Cattolica, we get a unique opportunity to synchronize methodology and share insights across national borders, says Linn Støme.
Linn Nathalie Støme is the work package leader for Early Health Technology Assessment in Forhelse.
