Abstract book : 12th biannual International Conference of the International Society on Priorities in Health, 13–15 September 2018, Linköping, Sweden

• WelcomeFrom the President of ISPHDear delegate,I am delighted to welcome over 160 participants to our 12th biennial international conference in Linköping University, Sweden. The theme of the conference is “Priorities in health: Ideas in practice’.This theme follows up nicely on the discussions at the previous conference in Birmingham. That conference conveyed a clear message, as highlighted in an editorial in the Int J Health Policy and Management authored by recent presidents of the Society. “Countries around the world are experiencing an ever-increasing need to make choices in investments in health and healthcare. This makes it incumbent upon them to have formal processes in place to optimize the legitimacy of eventual decisions. There is now growing experience among countries on the implementation of stakeholder participation, and a developing convergence of methods to support decision-makers within health authorities.” The authors called for further interaction among health authorities and the research community, to develop best practices.The present conference aims to do exactly that – bringing ideas in practice. And ideally not only in terms of the further development of methods, but also in the organisation, development of institutional processes and support for priority setting.I am looking forward to your contribution to these vexing questions and wish you a fruitful conference.Prof. Rob BaltussenPresident International Societyfor Priorities in Health 2016-2018
