Objectives
Focusing on innovation in hospitals, the Hospinnomics Chair has four main missions:
- research;
- decision support;
- training;
- public dissemination.
It thus contributes to the development of evaluation and experimentation in order to optimize all available resources in the service of patients. With the creation of Hospinnomics, the AP-HP and PSE have set themselves a dual objective: to steer academic research in health economics towards greater pragmatism (“policy-oriented research”), and to enable healthcare players to base their decisions on scientific evaluations (“evidence-based policy”).
The Chair’s scientific project is structured around two thematic axes. On the one hand, a focus on methods for evaluating technological and organizational innovation. Secondly, a focus on regulation (pricing methods, measuring inequalities, incentives, etc.).
Steering committee
The Chair has a Scientific Advisory Board made up of seven economists who are professors at foreign universities. The board is chaired by Pierre Corvol, professor at the Collège de France.
PSE partners
The Assistance publique – Hôpitaux de Paris is a world-renowned university hospital center with a European dimension. It is organized into six hospital-university groupings, based around five universities in the Paris region. It is the largest employer in the Paris region, with a workforce of 100,000 doctors, researchers, paramedics, administrative staff and workers.
