Webinar – Advancing Care Coordination and Telehealth at Scale EIP B3 Webinar

ACT@Scale is an innovative partnership of leading European health care regions, industry and academia that have the true potential to transform cure and care delivery services from pilots and experiments to scaled up, routine management of frail elderly and chronically ill. ACT@Scale aims at developing, testing and consolidating “best practice” Care Coordination and Telehealth (CC & TH) concepts that can be leveraged by the participating healthcare regions to expedite scaling-up their services, but also transferred to other regions through Europe and beyond. The scaling-up of “best practice” ACT@Scale CC & TH concepts is fully in line with the EIP on AHA and the EC scaling-up and digital health strategy, will facilitates concrete decision-making at EU policy level, and shows payers, practitioners and providers how patient care can be improved in light of an ageing society and under restricted budgets. ACT@Scale is targeting integrated care good practices in Basque Country, Catalonia, Groningen, Northern Ireland and South Denmark that are all in the process of implementing novel CC & TH processes at scale. The target groups are populations of chronic patients and elderly people with special needs including social services, frailty and psychiatric morbidities. A holistic assessment will be performed based on an agreed minimum dataset of indicators and with the support of a distributed Evaluation Engine. The ACT@Scale activity builds on the expertise and experiences of the previous ACT program and will use tested and tried collaborative methods and tools to implement improvements.

The work leading to these results is funded by the European Community’s Health Programme under grant agreement 709770. The ACT-at-Scale programme is fully aligned with the European Innovation Partnership in Active and Healthy Ageing objectives to deploy integrated care for chronically ill patients

Webinar on Mapping of European Integrated Care practices and Evaluation Framework

ACT@Scale team will present the outcomes of two sprints performed in 2016 with the collaboration of the regions of Northern Ireland, Northern Netherlands, Catalonia, Basque Country and South Denmark. The first sprint is related the agreed methodology to map the research areas:
-stakeholder and change management
-service selection including risk stratification
-business models and sustainability
-citizens empowerment
The second sprint is the agreement of an evaluation framework minimum set of standardized indicators to be collected during 3 years in 5 EU regions to assess the progress of deployment of integrated care programs
