Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe

Hybrid models of care

This track will have three parts. It is oriented towards:

• Upscaling digital health services. Its work will be on collaboration between demand, supply, demand enabler, innovation, and capacity building. Themes will be linked to the work of DigitalHealthUptake and the European health and care cluster.
• Digital skills for the workforce. Here, the focus will be on the work of a multi-stakeholder partnership launched under the EC Pact for Skills  in order to re-skill and upskill members of the healthcare workforce. The theme is aligned with the work of BeWell.
• Digital health for Active and Healthy Living. Here, the main content will be on strategies for inclusive usability of digital solutions (e.g., diversified user interfaces, use cases, and operating environments), and various hybrid models of care, including virtual coaching.

 

EHTEL’s masterclass contribution to Radical Health Festival Helsinki includes a hybrid models of care theme, and the radical changes needed by health and care systems, workforces, and citizens. Join EHTEL there on 12-14 June 2023.

What is EHTEL doing in 2023?

This year, with its emphasis on facilitating knowledge and developing new knowledge, EHTEL’s Imagining 2029 edition is structured in two tracks. The two tracks are:  the European Health Data Space, and Hybrid Models of Care. They build on earlier work developed by EHTEL.

Each Imagining 2029 track has a specific orientation and is intended to attract different audiences.

EHTEL will also be present at, and involved in, a number of important events and conferences.

The first in a series is the Radical Health Festival Helsinki, which includes two sessions with Imagining 2029 themes and an EHTEL master class.

What's in it for me?

Both tracks build on EHTEL’s multistakeholder platform approach: they bring together the richness and variety of EHTEL’s membership and stakeholder communities. Webinars engage attendees: speakers and discussants are invited, and the audience gets involved in conversations and polls.

Our 2023 story: These two tracks create an interdependent flow – both themes of healthcare governance and implementation are related. Value comes from both, and each theme feeds into the other.

The European Health Data Space starts from data, whereas hybrid care begins with services. The need for more integrated services (e.g., bringing health and care together) acts as a trigger to provide and demand higher quality services and data that is coded (meta-data). The availability of data offers the opportunity to develop new use cases and new services

In terms of the resulting policies and technologies used to ensure people’s satisfaction with health and care – that can be called blended care – both technical and organisational aspects are needed.
