The Leuven Institute for Healthcare Policy (LIHP) at KU Leuven was established in October 2015. It is part of the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Public Health and Primary Care. The institute integrates expertise in healthcare management and policy. The LIHP consists of various pillars: Quality and Patient Safety, Financing, Economics, and Organization. Within these pillars, various projects are carried out in close collaboration with healthcare organizations. A multidisciplinary team supports these projects with research and training initiatives.
The Organization Pillar, in collaboration with the Quality and Patient Safety Pillar, will set up a study on the use of scarce resources in healthcare. This study will use case studies to examine how the organization and financing of care can respond to increasing scarcity (e.g., workforce shortages and rising expenditures) in healthcare. The case studies include trends and changes in hospital quality financing (P4P), medical technology, and workforce shortages. Developing a quantitative methodology to study this topic and formulating policy recommendations on healthcare organization are central aspects of the doctoral trajectory.
