Implementation Research Scientific Conference
2023-06-12 08:00 - 2023-06-14 17:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Biblioteca universitaria de Deusto, Bilbao, Calle Ramón Rubial 1, Bilbao, Basque Country, 48009, Spain
The Implementation Research Scientific Conference in Bilbao comes at a crucial juncture in which it is essential to think about how Implementation Science and practice may work together in order to facilitate the translation of evidence-based interventions into routine clinical practice aiming to increase their reach, adoption, implementation and maintenance.

JADECARE has been accepted as a presenter to this conference on “The Implementation strategy for the transfer and adoption of successfully proven good practices on digitally enabled integrated person-centred care to heterogeneous contexts”: In the framework of speeding up the adoption of integrated person-centred care solutions in Europe by improving their capacity to redesign and improve their healthcare systems, the EU funded “Joint Action on digitally enabled integrated person-centred care” intends to support the transformation of health systems by addressing the transfer and adoption of four “original Good Practices” (oGPs) to 21 settings of “Next Adopters” (NAs) from 14 European countries holding different levels of maturity of integrated care. A three-step implementation strategy has been developed for enabling the transfer of experiences and knowledge:

Pre-implementation (planning and preparation): the NAs analyzed their contexts with the SWOT analysis and identified more than 150 local needs aligned with oGPs‘ key elements (study visits organized). As a consequence, 64 interventions were defined targeting more than 4 million people.
Implementation (roll-out and operation): the NAs deployed their action plans by means of two PDSA Cycles monitored by more than 350 KPIs. In ten structured thematic workshops they exchanged their experience about the transfer process.
Post-implementation (impact assessment and learning): the NAs analyzed the implementation process through the CFIR and reported the whole experience using SQUIRE 2.0 guidelines. Moreover, the implementation strategy is assessed by NAs (end users) to evaluate its impact and usability.

JADECARE impacts on European health systems by implementing innovative digital integrated care solutions and helping to change the model of care provision. It sets the base to implement integrated care at large scale by delivering know how to transfer innovative and tailored practices and generating evidence that aspires to produce benefits beyond the project.
Implementation Research and Practice:The biggest problem that undermines the quality of our health services is not the lack of research, but rather the lack of real implementation of the knowledge that research generates. The real translation into clinical health practice of effective interventions for health promotion and prevention of chronic diseases remains an unresolved challenge in health systems worldwide. Additionally, a considerable proportion of the interventions provided to patients in the healthcare context lack solid evidence of the effectiveness. The elimination or reduction of this low-value care can lead to improvements in the quality of care and its results in terms of population health while reducing costs.

​Implementation Science seeks to address and reduce this translational gap by studying and understanding:

The political, social, behavioral, economic and organizational factors that impede the effective dissemination and implementation of clinical, public health and organizational findings based on evidence.
The identification, development and evaluation of specific strategies that allow the integration into routine clinical practice, interventions and therapies of proven efficacy that are not being applied in a generalized, sustainable and continuous way (Implementation) or promote the abandonment or substitution of ineffective or cost-ineffective practices or interventions (De-implementation).

The contribution of the JADECARE Joint Action in health systems transformation: integrated care and digitization
2023-09-12 08:30 - 14:00 | Rome, Italy
The objectives of the event are to disseminate the results of the project and foster its sustainability, through a multidisciplinary approach and the active involvement of stakeholders and experts. The first session will be devoted to presenting the project, its achievements and alignment with existing European, national and regional policies, programs and initiatives. During the second session, a representative of the good practice will illustrate how the algorithm and dashboard are being used in the Spanish health care system while the project team will present the sustainability plan to implement regionally the results achieved. These talks will provide useful insights for discussion with experts, stakeholders and participants in order to assess the potential for using the project’s products in the various areas of expertise and identify possible actions to be implemented after the end of the project. Below follows the preliminary program of the event. The event will be in Italian language.
The Marche Region, through the Regional Health Agency, is participating in the European Joint Action JADECARE, aimed at addressing the challenges of healthcare transformation in the European Union. The 3-year project involved 45 organizations from 16 European countries and is going to finish in September 2023. In this context, Marche Region implemented a good practice developed in Spain (Catalonia), focusing on chronicity management through digitalized systems. An innovative algorithm using administrative health flows to assess the health status of the Marche population and the distribution of chronic diseases has been successfully tested. The results of the algorithm will be made available through a dashboard that can explain and show the citizens’ health demand and support the planning of social and health care services. The management of chronic diseases will be promoted through integrated, person[1]centered care, allowing and efficient use of the available resources, providing the quality of care, and an improved quality of life for citizens.

NEW: “Health systems in crisis: Countering shockwaves and fatigue (dedicated Eurohealth Journal Edition)
JADECARE Consortium Article: Accelerating the path to digitally-enabled integrated care in Europe

About the conference: Health systems in Europe were facing significant problems pre-COVID, from underfunded primary and social care to workforce shortages and inequities in access to care, while addressing growing challenges such as ageing populations and the rise in non-communicable diseases. The ensuing permacrisis – including an ongoing pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living crisis, and the climate emergency – have only exacerbated the situation, stretching health systems, and in particular the health and care workforce, to their limits. Many workers have lost their lives, while others have suffered fatigue, exhaustion, and burnout. Join the conference to discuss how to ride out the current shockwaves and explore how crises can help catalyse the development of new approaches to health system problems. Together, let´s co-create long-term sustainable solutions that support health and well-being!

Join us onsite or virtual and get ready to be inspired by some of the leading voices in the healthcare industry as they share their insights and expertise during the hybrid conference.

In times of economic, climatic and social instability and insecurity, this congress aims to provide an opportunity to reflect on the role of healthcare quality as a key factor in the transformation of the healthcare system towards more sustainable models.
The theme of this edition, “Quality of care, a pillar of sustainability“, encourages the exchange of experiences and the generation of new ideas that pave the way for the spread of improvement initiatives that have a direct impact on the quality of healthcare and on the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of the health system itself.
