Óscar Brito Fernandes is a health services and systems postdoctoral researcher at Amsterdam UMC, University of Amsterdam, where he applies a multidisciplinary approach to improving health systems. With an educational background spanning mathematics, education, public health, and healthcare management, Óscar’s research focuses on the measurement, management, and improvement of health system performance at all levels—from policy to practice—and is largely inspired by the underlying theories about value-based healthcare, learning health systems, complex adaptive systems, and deliberative democracy. He received his PhD in 2022 from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Amsterdam. Óscar’s work is driven by a vision of transforming health systems into people-centred, value-based models by harnessing performance intelligence to inform better health policy and decision-making.
