PROSPeCD

As part of the EU Technical Support Instrument (TSI) project, supported by the European Commission (DG REFORM), Belgium is developing an innovative Population Health Management (PHM) strategy. The PHM Unit at ACHG, in collaboration with Data4PHM, Hasselt University, and the University of Antwerp, leads this initiative.

A PHM dashboard can drive proactive, data-driven healthcare. The PROSPeCD study identifies functional and user requirements to optimize such a tool. Focus groups in three living labs—Zorgzaam Leuven, Antwerp, and Limburg—provided insights into user expectations.

Key identified functions include:

• Regional environmental analysis: Identifying trends and risk factors.
• Risk stratification and intervention selection: Targeting vulnerable groups.
• Advanced analytics tools: Supporting research and expert analysis.

Two primary user groups were defined:

• Population Health Managers: Healthcare providers and policymakers requiring accessible health data.
• Expert Population Health Managers: Researchers needing advanced analytics.

Based on these insights, a mockup PHM dashboard was developed, outlining a future vision for data-driven population health management in Belgium.
