The Joint Action (JA) on implementation of digitally enabled integrated person-centered care (JADECARE) is part of a series of initiatives the EU has launched to face the challenges of the transformation of health and care in the EU. JADECARE intends to reinforce the capacity of health authorities to successfully address important aspects of health system transformation, in particular the transition to digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care in the EU. For this purpose, 17 EU countries participate in JADECARE. 

In order to achieve these goals four original “Good Practices” support participating regions of member states to transfer the successful practices and generated knowledge into the healthcare systems of the participating partners.

This EU-funded JA starts on October 1st, 2020 and ends on September 30th, 2023. The project’s achievements are designed for sustainability so that health inequalities within the EU are reduced in the future and innovations on digitally enabled person-centered care solutions are encouraged in the long run.

JADECARE INVOLVES PARTNERS FROM 17 COUNTRIES

ALL AROUND EUROPE .

The ageing of the population with the growing burden of chronic conditions and multimorbidity is steadily increasing the demand for a more extended and efficient care and a more intelligent outcome-based delivery of personalized care in an integrative and coordinated approach.

Innovative solutions are needed to deliver efficient integrated person-centered services based on citizen’s needs through new technologies, products and organizational changes.
Digital innovation tools and services have the potential and have proven in good practice innovative models of integrated care, to facilitate and support these changes delivering more targeted, personalized and high-quality healthcare to the population.

JADECARE will contribute to innovative, efficient and sustainable health systems, providing expertise and sharing good practices solutions of digitally enabled integrated person-centered care to assist the Member States in undertaking sustainable health system reforms.

AIMS & GOALS

  • Contribute to innovative, efficient and sustainable health systems, providing expertise and sharing good practices to assist the Member States in undertaking health system reforms 
  • Enable the participating national authorities and those beyond the Consortium, to benefit from efficient solutions in digitally enabled integrated person-centered care developed by the “Early adopters” of the original Good Practices (oGPs)  
  • Reinforce the capacity of health authorities to successfully address important aspects of health system transformation, in particular the transition to digitally enabled, integrated, person-centred care  
  • Support the best practice transfer from the systems of the “Early adopters” to the ones of the “Next adopters” 

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

  • To contribute to the creation of innovative, efficient and sustainable integrated health care systems focused on the individual person
  • To encourage innovation, enhance the sustainability of health systems, and improve their health care performance and outcomes.
  • To achieve the digital transformation of health services in which professional end users, care users or citizens, health providers, digital solutions providers and governments will have a key role.

JADECARE will improve collaboration and trust among participating agents, support knowledge transfer and learning, and generate evidence on integrated care. This will produce benefits beyond the time frame of the Joint Action. JADECARE will share its main findings and ensure the sustainability of policies at local, regional and national levels

INTERVENTION & METHODOLOGY

The four Best Practices that will be transferred are

  • Basque health strategy on ageing and chronicity: Integrated care (Basque Country, Spain)
  • Catalan Center for Open Innovation on ICT-supported integrated care services for chronic patients (Catalonia, Spain)
  • The OptiMedis model – integrated population-based care (Germany)
  • Digital roadmap to an integrated health care sector (Southern Denmark Region)

By transferring these four practices, JADECARE proposes to strengthen the capacity of health authorities to successfully address all important aspects of the transformation of the health system towards digital, integrated and person-centered care.

JADECARE will employ a three-phase implementation strategy previously designed and successfully applied in the CHRODIS Plus Joint Action.

The phases will be:

  • Pre-implementation phase: planning and preparation, action plans for “Next Adopter” interventions will be developed
  • Implementation phase: roll-up and operation, based on the PDSA cycle methodology (Plan, Do, Study, Act)
  • Post-implementation: impact assessment and learning
