Prof. Dr. Dionne S. Kringos is Professor of Health Systems and Services Research at Amsterdam UMC (University of Amsterdam) and Deputy Head of the Department of Public and Occupational Health. She is a senior member of the Amsterdam UMC Centre for Sustainable Health Care, where she contributes to advancing research and policy on environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable health systems. Her work focuses on the measurement, governance, and sustainable improvement of health systems, with particular attention to primary health care, system performance, resilience, and the integration of People, Planet, and Prosperity into health policy and decision-making. A central question in her research is how countries can develop and sustain high-performing, equitable, and context-sensitive health systems that are fit for present and future societal challenges. Dionne leads the Health Systems and Services Research Group and serves as Head of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Quality and Equity in Primary Health Care Systems. She works closely with international organisations and national governments—including the WHO, OECD, European Commission, and ministries of health—on comparative research, policy advice, and health system strengthening and reform. She has held a range of international advisory and governance roles, including membership of the European Commission’s Expert Panel on Effective Ways of Investing in Health (2016–2022) and, since 2022, the Council of Observers of the National Health Observatory (ObSanté) in Luxembourg. She is also Coordinator of the HealthIntelAct Industrial Doctoral Network, focusing on actionable performance intelligence for sustainable health systems. Previously, Dionne was a Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and worked at the Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL). She holds degrees in Health Policy and Management, Health Economics, Policy and Law, Health Services Research, and a PhD in Health Systems Research.

HealthPros is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network for Healthcare Performance Intelligence Professionals, running from January 2018 – 2022. HealthPros trains 13 PhD candidates into a first generation of Healthcare Performance Intelligence Professionals that can make effective use of available healthcare performance data in countries to improve integrated service delivery, patient engagement, equality in access to healthcare, health outcomes, and reduce waste in healthcare. HealthPros ("Performance Intelligence Professionals") is designed to train international analysts that will be able to systematically link health data and strategic planning decisions. Through a new discipline of "Performance Intelligence in Health", HealthPros is expanding the breadth of human resources that can be employed by research institutions, private companies and government institutions, to turn health information into actions aimed at continuously improving health systems and services. The training network brings together leading academics in the field of data science and health care performance assessment and improvement, as well as a wider immersion community, including stakeholders such as health insurance companies, national and regional agencies, multi-national consulting and pharma companies. The HealthPros Training Network provides an innovative 3-years programme of collaborative, multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial training to the PhD candidates. Through innovative research, HealthPros is developing tools and implement methods to streamline healthcare performance measurement, the development and application of performance-based governance mechanisms and effective use of Healthcare Performance Intelligence by different end-users, that match the different health care systems in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, UK, Italy, Hungary and Canada, and will support the transferability of the tools and methods to other countries See: www.healthpros-h2020.eu
