Monitoring and Assessment Framework for the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (MAFEIP) : second report on outcome indicators

IPTS in cooperation with DG CNECT and DG SANCO is developing a monitoring framework to assess the evolution and impact of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA). In an earlier report, a set of candidate indicators was suggested which may allow efficient monitoring of the impact of the EIP on AHA on the Triple Win and the overarching objective of increasing the life of European citizens by two healthy life years by 2020. This report builds on previous work on outcome indicators by analysing data from a survey on outcome indicators used or intended to be used by commitments participating in the EIP on AHA, which was carried out in February-April 2014. For the Quality of Life column of the monitoring framework, our analysis focussed not only on the recurrence of each indicator, but also on the potential coverage of commitments achieved through primary as well as common and specific secondary indicator candidates. For the sustainability of health and care systems column of the framework, previous findings could be confirmed through the survey data with regard to the type of resources reported by commitments. The analysis of the survey data confirms and strengthens a number of findings presented in the MAFEIP First report on outcome indicators. However, the indicators discussed here still constitute a long list of potential candidates which may be refined in the future when it comes to linking outcomes to the EIP on AHA objectives.
