International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement

The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming global healthcare systems by establishing standardized sets of patient-centered outcomes. Founded by leaders from Harvard Business School, the Boston Consulting Group, and Karolinska Institutet, ICHOM develops "Standard Sets" that define the metrics most relevant to patients for specific medical conditions. These standards enable healthcare providers to measure, compare, and improve the quality of care while facilitating the transition toward value-based healthcare models. By providing a common language for outcomes, ICHOM supports international benchmarking and helps clinicians align their practices with the results that matter most to those they treat.
