Beamer Webinar: People-centered healthcare system: what more do we need to do?

Studies estimate that approximately 50% of medications are not taken according to prescribed instructions, often because people do not fully understand how or why a treatment works. Treatment adherence therefore reflects more than individual behaviour: it also highlights gaps in how healthcare systems communicate with and support patients. Building a more people-centred healthcare system means ensuring that information is understandable, relevant, and adapted to each individual. By tailoring communication to patients’ needs and levels of health literacy, healthcare providers can help people to better engage with their treatments. Speakers: Dimitrios Athanasiou, Douglas Slakey, Sofia Trantza Moderator: Aad Liefveld BEAMER is a five-year IMI project dedicated to understand the causes of patient non-adherence to treatments and provides a model (B-COMPASS) to increase adherence levels. The project involves 28 organisations from 13 European countries, including universities/research organisations, health care providers, patient organisations, SMEs, non-profit organisations and industry partners . Our flagship activity is the development of B-COMPASS, which is currently being tested in 9 pilot sites across Europe. https://beamerproject.eu/
