Occupancy rate: 100%
Vacancy type: Research staff
The HERO project (Health Economics in Radiation Oncology) was initiated in 2011, on the demand of the ESTRO board, with the overall aim to develop a knowledge base and an economic model for radiotherapy at the level of the European countries.
It has been focusing on the availability of radiotherapy resources (equipment, personnel and the supporting recommendations) and needs for radiotherapy (in terms of patients requiring radiotherapy, hence treatments to be delivered).
It has developed a time-driven cost-accounting model, available as an online tool for radiation oncology societies and professionals, that can help in defining the cost and the resource needs of radiotherapy in a certain population to be served with radiotherapy. Moreover, reimbursement data have been collected across Europe, looking at the cost from a societal perspective.
ESTRO-HERO also collaborated in a project investigating the applicability of existing oncology value-scales to loco-regional cancer treatments, radiotherapy and surgery. It was concluded that the available tools are mainly focused in systemic cancer treatments, and are not easily transferable to the context of loco-regional cancer treatments such as radiotherapy.
The Researcher engaged in the HERO-VBHC project will develop scientific outputs to support the development of a value-framework for radiation oncology.
The researcher will appraise the literature and work in close collaboration with methodological and clinical collaborators, to develop, test and validate the framework.
