Main questions of this day:
- What kind of social innovations can address the care services at the place of residence?
- How might social innovations address the needs of the special target groups? Can they be generalized, transferred or should they stay specific to the target group?
- What should be considered while designing the service / product / solution for the specific target group?
- What do you think about co-creation or service design process?
- How social innovations can affect the coordination of social and health care?
For some sessions, participants will work in small, interactive, sub-groups. Each sub-group will have a facilitator and a rapporteur drawn from the PRGA participants. All this, will lead to a varied programme!
* 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.
