This is an international collaborative project, led by Harvard TH. Chan School of Public Health, and has 13 other partners from North America, Europe, and the Pacific. Among the participating entities is the Aragon Institute of Health Sciences. This collaboration, which began in 2018, is based on regional and national data. The aim is to provide key policy insights on how to address rising costs and improve patient outcomes across different healthcare systems.
ICCONIC hopes to develop a novel methodology to compare cost, utilization, and outcomes of high-need, high-cost populations in different health systems.
