The new tools are intended to enable city officials to manage health policy more effectively, offering dynamic access to health data, which will support decision-making based on reliable evidence and improve understanding of health trends in the capital city.
-Project ‘#Evidence-based Warsaw’s health: implementing data-driven health assessment for Warsaw residents’ is a continuation of previous activities that resulted in the development of a methodology for assessing, supervising and monitoring health of Warsaw’s residents, founded on the principles of evidence-based medicine, evidence-based public health policy and evidence-based health care - said professor Mariusz Panczyk from the Department of Education and Research in Health Sciences, scientific manager of the project.
The project will include consultations with experts in various fields of public health from institutions such as the Agency for Medical Technology Assessment and Rating, the Medical Center for Postgraduate Education, the National Institute of Oncology and the University of Warsaw.
The project is coordinated by scientists from the Department of Education and Research in Health Sciences of the Medical University of Warsaw.
