The AMEQUIS project, carried out in collaboration with the Avedis Donabedian Foundation (FAD), aims to develop an Integrated Assessment, Monitoring, Evaluation and Quality Improvement System (AMEQUIS) for European Reference Networks, by enabling them to learn from experiences and identify potential pitfalls.

This integrated approach shall provide the different actors in the field with a clear and robust guidance, criteria and operational tools to ensure a sound and harmonized process in order to:

• Assess any new ERN or HCP application
• Monitor the activities carried out and the produced deliverables developed by the approved ERNs and their Members
• Evaluate the ERNs
• Improve the ERN system on the basis of a Continuous Quality Improvement System approach (Plan -Do-Check-Act) and develop an integrated AMEQUIS model.
