* The PRGA is a small-scale event that will demonstrate specific digital innovations for health care and well-being developed or scaled up during the pandemic that can be demonstrated by Liverpool (telehealth), Basque Country (automizing processes & data analytics), Malopolska (tackling social isolation and mental health) and Baden-Wüttemberg (integrated care). Each will be attended by 3 stakeholders/ experts in these fields from each of 4 interested ITHACA partner regions where there is also an alignment with the policy and relevance for new projects or governance matters.
The primary purpose of the PRGAs is for visiting experts to act as an ‘assessment and feedback team” who will observe and provide structured feedback to the hosts about what they have seen and learnt at the PRGA. By drawing on their own knowledge and experience and with the benefit of a fresh eye and, with support from an independent facilitator, they will provide PRGA host regions and their stakeholders with a unique opportunity to hear an expert critique and recommendations. This can improve actions in the host region and flag up good practices for transferring elsewhere.
