Every day, innovative digital solutions are developed across Europe, responding to cross-borders needs. Many of them, though beneficial and measurable, may never be picked up by the mainstream. In other words, these best practices will never be “scaled up”, yet scaling up of digital Integrated Care solutions is a critical component in addressing the health needs of vulnerable populations. In the SEURO project we address what are key factors necessary to prepare any region to successfully implement and scale an innovative, people-centric digital integrated health and social care solution. In doing this we are further developing a transferability tool designed under the ProACT project (http://proact2020.eu/).
In this workshop we present a prototype of this tool, designed to evaluate organisational/regional readiness to apply integrated digital care solutions. It is based on a three staged study combining analysis of literature and prior EU projects, expert interviews on barriers & facilitators and a Delphi study to validate and priortise the factors. The outcomes of this workshop will inform the next version of the tool. Findings and learnings will be published in due course.
