Agata Łaszewska joined the Department of Health Economics in July 2014 after completing her master degree in Public Health with a specialization in Economics and Management in Healthcare System at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow in 2013. Her thesis concerned measuring the quality of long-term care. She boosted her international academic experience during an Erasmus exchange program in Maastricht, deepened her knowledge on international healthcare systems and developed a special interest in national methods for the quality of care assessment.
Her current research interest lies in measuring the quality of long-term care, systems for assessing quality of healthcare and multidisciplinary research. During her studies she also started to work in a company where she focused on acquiring and processing data from different sources based on public statistics and disease registers in Poland. Recently, she was a member of the group creating the first edition of the Polish national health system’s performance index and led the project about the epidemiology of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
