Highlights
During 2016, the AQuAS research group linked to CIBERESP highlights the start of 3 projects funded
by the European Commission (EUnetHTA Joint Action 3, ACT at Scale and Joint Action Dementia 2) in collaboration with public bodies at European level, as well as 14 evaluation projects in the framework of the Spanish Network of Health Technology Assessment Agencies. It is worth mentioning the collaboration in a Manual of methodological quality and good practices in health technology assessment. The group
has also continued on transfer products such as the Catalan Arthroplasty Registry, the Shared Decisions project, the Observatory of Results of Research and Integrated Care Assessment. Within the Strategic Plan for cerebrovascular diseases, the implementation of the Registry of reperfusion treatments in patients
with stroke and the Registry of Ictus Codes of Catalonia have continued. AQuAS has participated in the organization of 5 relevant events such as the Preventing Overdiagnosis International Conference linked to the ESSENTIAL project, the International Conference on Integrated Care, the Ibero-American Congress of Qualitative Health Research, the International Network for Research on Inequalities in Child Health and The International School on Research Impact Assessment, where researchers from the group have participated as speakers. In addition, these products have been made visible through AQuAS Blog, with more than 5,000 accesses to posts written by researchers of the CIBERESP group. Six technical reports and guidelines have been finalized (including the report on Proposed indicators for the evaluation of care for chronicity within the Spanish National Health System and the update of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Methodology Manual). Finally, 11 articles and editorials have been published in national journals and 2 international articles (the most relevant in terms of impact in Stroke journal).
