Building on our ongoing efforts to analyse key drivers and barriers in transitional healthcare innovation, we are excited to launch the EVOLVE2CARE Online Workshop Series “Accelerating Innovation in Transitional Care – Identifying Key Needs & Meaningful Impact”!
Building upon the findings from Task 1.1, which identified more than 70 key drivers and barriers influencing innovation in transitional healthcare—spanning legal, regulatory, fiscal, technical, and operational factors—EVOLVE2CARE is now taking the next step with Task 1.2 that revolves around identifying the requirements of major stakeholders within the HealthTech and Transitional Care sector and building a framework of meaningful Key Performance indicators (KPIs) for the efficient and evidence-based integration of innovations for the benefit of transitional healthcare services delivery.
As part of this effort, the project is launching the online workshop series “Accelerating Innovation in Transitional Care – Identifying Key Needs & Meaningful Impact” featuring distinguished speakers, designed to engage healthcare providers, experts, innovators, and stakeholders in co-developing solutions that enhance patient care during transitions from hospital to home. The consolidated feedback from these workshops is going to feed into the preparation of the KPIs repository that will drive HealthTech solutions in Transitional Care.
