KCE's mission is, on the basis of scientific analysis and research, to advise policymakers on decisions relating to healthcare and health insurance.KCE is not involved in the decision-making or implementation process. Instead, its role is to identify and shed light on the best possible solutions, in the context of an accessible, high-quality healthcare system with due regard for growing demand and budgetary constraints. Further, KCE supports care providers by developing clinical guidelines, gearing these towards the evolving body of scientific knowledge and publishing on methodologies that serve as a guide for other healthcare researchers.KCE is involved in 4 domains:• investigating the optimal means of organising and funding healthcare (Health services research)• developing and adjusting clinical practice guidelines to the most recent scientific evolutions (Good clinical practice)• evaluating medical technologies and medicinal products (Health technology assessment)• developing accurate manuals using validated work methods, destined for all researchers working in the domain of healthcare and public health (Methods)KCE also resumes study results by reliable sources, relevant to the Belgian context, into concise ‘KCE has read for you's'.The Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre goes by the acronym KCE, which incorporates the abbreviations of its name in both Dutch (Kenniscentrum) and French (Centre d'Expertise).
