Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation
CHEPI in context Since its inception in 2016, and formal launch in 2017, the Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation (CHEPI) has grown rapidly to become a flagship research centre at Imperial College Business School. The successful establishment of the Centre is the result of several years of strategic hires and concerted effort to develop strengths in an academic area that has a unique potential for academic collaborations and synergies across Imperial College. CHEPI’s growth enhances the research and innovation profile of the School within Imperial College and relative to its competitors. Work on health at the Business School has taken many forms over the years, and the School’s commitment to a strong presence in the areas of health economics, policy and management has remained steadfast. The School, and CHEPI, benefit from their proximity to the leading Faculty of Medicine and School of Public Health at Imperial College, as well as to the faculties of Engineering and Natural Sciences. In less than three years, CHEPI’s team of 11 affiliated faculty, 15 postdoctoral and doctoral researchers, and its management team have achieved their initial goal of establishing the Centre as an authoritative and trusted player within Imperial College, and in a highly competitive national and international arena. They have also made the Centre financially sustainable, tripling its research income. Faculty affiliated with CHEPI have been very successful in obtaining funding from a diverse portfolio of agencies, ranging from the European Commission, to charities such as the Health Foundation, research councils such as the ESRC, NIHR, Arts & Humanities Research Council, along with government agencies such as NHS England, Public Health England and the Department of Health. This report provides a summary of key developments in CHEPI’s work over the past year. The Centre currently leads and is involved in multimillion pound cutting-edge research projects that build upon and leverage our strong collaborations with all faculties within Imperial College, and especially with the School of Public Health, the Department of Mathematics and the Data Science Institute. CHEPI’s research is designed to influence policy and encourage healthenhancing choices by people, business and government for the benefit of society. Of no less importance are collaborations with external partners, which have peaked in the past couple of years with the involvement and leadership of CHEPI in major international collaborations in the context of the Global Challenges Research Fund and of the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.
CHEPI’s mission is to research incentives and environments that encourage individuals and organisations to make health-enhancing decisions
CHEPI supports the development of business and government policies that embed those incentives and create those environments
As a research centre, CHEPI excels in all four pillars of the Business School’s Strategic Vision 2018 to 2028. The Centre conducts worldrenowned research, published in leading journals, and influences policy at the highest levels; its faculty teach world class postgraduate programmes aimed at educating the next generation of health leaders and foster new researchers in their PhD candidates; CHEPI provides access to key resources in the form of data storage and processing environments; and, its extensive collaborations with academics in all faculties ensure that the Centre maximises the benefits afforded by being part of Imperial College London.

Our research projects Science & Technology in childhood Obesity Policy (STOP) PI: Prof. Franco Sassi (coordinating partner) Funder: European Commission (H2020 SC2) Duration: June 2018 – May 2022 The STOP project brings together a range of key health and food sector actors to generate scientifically sound and policy-relevant evidence on the factors that have contributed to the spread of childhood obesity in EuropeanScience and Technology in Countries. Over the course of four years the European Commission-funded consortium of 31 research, childhood advocacy and governmental organisations from 16 countries will posit alternative policy Obesity options to Policy address the problem. STOP will expand and consolidate the multidisciplinary evidence base upon which effective and sustainable policies can be built to prevent and manage childhood obesity. STOP also aims at creating the conditions for evidence to translate into policy and for policy to translate into impacts on the ground. The primary focus of STOP is on the cumulative impacts of multiple and synergistic exposures in vulnerable and socially disadvantaged children and their families, which must be a priority target for the fight against childhood obesity in Europe to reach a tipping point and succeed. STOP will identify critical stages in childhood (starting from prenatal exposures) at which interventions can be most effective and efficient. Major health and food sector actors, including scientists, health professionals, government policy makers, national public health agencies, international organisations, civil society and business organisations are working together to establish mechanisms through which policy-relevant evidence can be generated, made available and used in the design and implementation of effective and sustainable solutions for the childhood obesity problem at the EU, National and local levels. The project has adopted a trans-disciplinary, multistakeholder and multi-sectoral (whole-of-government) approach, in a “Health-in-all-policies� framework. In the pursuit of the above goals, the project will benefit from the support and contributions of partners from non-European countries (United States and New Zealand), who will complement the expertise of European partners and share valuable experiences in addressing childhood obesity.

Empirical evidence on the impact of the labour market on the production of healthcare and health PI: Prof. Carol Propper Funder: European Research Council Duration: October 2018 – September 2022
What determines the quality of public services? How do shocks to the economy affect the delivery of public services? Why is there such variation in the efficiency of public service providers and how does this affect those who use their services? The aim of this project is to fundamentally contribute to our understanding of the labour supply behaviour of public service providers and the impact of their behaviour on the quality and distribution of critical outcomes. To achieve this we will primarily focus on the healthcare sector. The importance of the healthcare sector to social wellbeing, the existence of shocks that create ‘natural’ experiments, and the availability of large administrative datasets makes the healthcare market the ideal test-bed. Further, understanding how labour markets in healthcare operate is crucial for public expenditure and central because society cares about the output produced. We will adopt two broad approaches. The first is to examine the micro-foundations of behaviour for critical agents. The second is to examine the effect of policy and macro shocks to the economy on the reallocation of labour within, and between, healthcare and other sectors. In all cases my focus is on understanding labour supply responses and how these impact on the level and distribution of critical outcomes in society. The ideas are applicable to all labour markets characterised by high levels of investment in human capital and where market failures mean society cares about the outcomes. Our research will contribute to the fields of labour and health economics. Our research will also inform the development of policies to increase the uptake and spread of medical innovation, increase the quality of the medical labour force and improve the design of healthcare systems.
NIHR Global Health Research Unit on CVD and Diabetes in South Asians PI: Prof. John Chambers (FoM) Co-I’s: Prof. Franco Sassi & Dr Marisa Miraldo Funder: National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Duration: June 2017 – March 2021
Heart disease and stroke (the main forms of “cardiovascular disease”) and diabetes (abnormally high blood sugars) are the world’s leading health problems. 18 million people die from cardiovascular diseases each year (1/3rd of all deaths), while 420 million people live with diabetes. The burden of cardiovascular disease and diabetes are especially high in South Asia, one of most densely populated regions in the world. India alone has ~62 million people living with cardiovascular disease and ~56 million with diabetes. Both diseases cause an enormous financial burden on individuals, their families and the societies they live in. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are thus important contributors to poverty, inequality and social instability. There is an urgent need to find new approaches to reducing the burden of these diseases, especially in South Asia Our Global Health Research Unit comes together as a close collaboration between experts at Imperial and leading academic and clinical institutions in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Does childhood obesity hinder human capital development? PI: Prof. Franco Sassi Funder: Health Foundation Duration: January 2018 – December 2021
To establish the causal pathways that link childhood obesity to human capital development and social outcomes, with a focus on educational attainment, labour market outcomes (employment, wages and sick leave) and indicators of civic participation in three UK cohorts. The project will address an important set of research questions on the social and economic impacts of childhood obesity by leveraging some of the most detailed longitudinal data sources available in the UK as well as innovative approaches to assessing causality and the links between health and social outcomes. It will do so with a view to making an impact on the actins of key stakeholders involved in addressing the problem. In particular, the study will rely on two national cohort studies reflecting the lives of individuals born in 1958 and 1970, and on a local cohort study of children born in 1991-92 providing a unique set of information based on biomarkers, anthropometric measures, linkages with rich administrative data, along with more traditional survey questions. The study will leverage biomarkers in the latter cohort and genetic information in all three cohorts in a detailed investigation of the causal pathways that link children early life exposures and background socioeconomic status to their likelihood of developing obesity in young age, to the social and economic outcomes associated with childhood obesity. In particular, the study will focus on dimensions of human capital (education and cognitive skills) and returns to human capital, in the form of employment and earnings, as well as forms of civic participation and social engagement.
RARE2030 — a participatory foresight study for policy-making rare diseases Project Lead: European Organisation for Rare Diseases Association Co-I’s: Prof. Franco Sassi & Dr Marisa Miraldo Funder: European Commission Duration: January 2019 – December 2020
Building upon the success of European policy in support of rare diseases (RDs) to-date, we seek to use innovative research-based methods to best support future policy decisions for RDs. We seek to propose policy recommendations to guide this future policy by using the participatory foresight approach and additional innovative consensus building methods, encouraging broad and sustainable uptake by patients, all relevant stakeholders, (in particular policy makers) and society at large. By harnessing the expertise and experience of associated and collaborating project partners and an panel of experts made up of representatives of all those benefitting from the projects outcomes, we specifically seek to establish the baseline knowledge required to identify, agree on and rank scientific, technological, social, political, financial and institutional drivers for the future governance and care of RDs in Europe. By exploring and combining trends and existing instruments we intend to develop 3-5 consistent and plausible qualitative scenarios revealing the needs, perceptions and preferences of the RD Community and society at large as well as the policy options leading to these scenarios. Beneficiaries of this project include all stakeholders in the RD community comprised of a broad range of key target groups including healthcare professionals, researchers, industry, policy makers, patient organisations and the 30 million people living with RD and their families.

The Health, Economic and Social impact of ARTS engagement: a Public Health Study (HEARTS) Project Lead: Royal College of Music Co-I: Dr Marisa Miraldo Funder: Arts & Humanities Research Council Duration: June 2018 – January 2021
In the past few decades, there has been a surge of international interest in the role of the arts and culture in healthcare, public health and health promotion, on an individual and community level. However, the vast majority of research studies have focused on the effects of targeted, time-limited arts interventions on particular patient groups. Yet, much of the arts and cultural engagement across the UK is not confined to specific interventions but involves a more general, ubiquitous participation that can be harder to measure through experimental studies. A select number of public health studies have found associations between cultural participation (including attending concerts, museums and galleries) and self-reported health, as well as inverse associations between cultural participation and mortality risk. However, important questions remain, and to date, there have been no large-scale public health studies examining the impact of the arts in the UK. This project is led by the Centre for Performance Science, an internationally distinctive partnership of the Royal College of Music and Imperial College London, with an extensive track record in arts, health and social research. It explores the effect of (i) activities that involve actively ‘doing’ (e.g. music, dance, art, photography and drama) and (ii) activities that require physical attendance (e.g. attending concerts, monuments, museums, galleries, cinemas, heritage archives and theatre); (iii) ‘home-based’ activities (e.g. listening to the radio, watching TV, reading, storytelling, using arts-based apps, digital arts experiences, online music co-production). Our research questions identify the impact of the arts and culture on individual, social and economic measures of health and wellbeing, as well as explore how associations vary between different socioeconomic, geographical and ethnic populations within the UK.
Cost of Diseases and Multimorbidity Co-I’s: Prof. Franco Sassi & Dr Laure de Preux Funder: Public Health England Duration: May 2018 – October 2018
Multi-morbidity (MM) can be defined as the presence of 2 or more long-term medical conditions in one individual. It impacts quality of life, daily function, and results in greater healthcare utilisation, including emergency hospitalisations the more co-existing conditions one has. MM is potentially the biggest challenge facing the NHS with an estimated 1 in 4 older people having two or more long-term conditions or ‘multimorbidity’, especially given the ageing population. Yet, little is known about best practice for these patients, despite being the group with the highest impact on the NHS and with the worst outcomes. Gaining a better understanding of how researchers have tackled this problem by reviewing the methods used, as well as understanding how multi-morbidity prevalence is set to change in England into the future and how much it is going to cost is vital if the NHS and social care are to be properly resourced. Such figures do not exist for England, nor is there consensus over the best approach. The project will: • Review the literature and describe different costing methods for multi-morbidity; • Recommend the most appropriate costing method for estimating the annual cost per case of specific combinations of conditions; • Calculate the annual cost-per-case of a range of individual diseases and combinations of diseases, and analyse variation between the different costs.

Executive Education Two open and two customised programmes offered in 2018-19. Over the last year our faculty have led and contributed to teaching several executive education programmes, including “From Idea to Health Business" in partnership with KU Leuven and Vlerick Business School, and the "Advanced Management Programme on Health Innovation" in partnership with Copenhagen Business School and IESE Business School. Both of the above were led by Prof. James Barlow and both were designed as open enrolment programmes. Prof. Barlow was also responsible for the Dubai Health Authority Executive Programme and for the Health Intrapreneurs Programme with Imperial College Health Partners. CHEPI also received funding from EIT Health to develop a training programme for city- and national-level public health professionals entitled “Drink Up: How to Create Demand for Healthy Consumption” in 2020, based on the successful Drink Up social marketing campaign in the United States.
