Delivering integrated care in remote and rural areas: Sharing the experience
About the webinar
The significance of integrated care as a means for improving health outcomes, effectiveness and sustainability of health and care systems is widely acknowledged. It is a central element in many on-going or planned healthcare system reforms, however, it is important to recognise that the regions and countries in Europe are experiencing different progress and levels of maturity for integration. This is particularly the case of delivering integrated health and care services in remote and rural areas.
The objective of this webinar is to learn from and exchange experience with two European sites, the Basque country and Slovenia, in delivering integrated care services in remote and rural areas. It will be a practical opportunity to discuss what innovative actions and activities should be prioritised in these areas in order to improve their capacities for delivering the integrated care services.
In addition, the webinar will feature how SCIROCCO Exchange tool for integrated care as a capacity-building tool can help to facilitate learning and understanding of organisational maturity and readiness for integration. The tool helps users to identify the maturity and local context enabling the adoption of integrated care. The tool has been validated through EU Health Programme funded project SCIROCCO (www.scirocco-project.eu) and further refined and improved in the SCIROCCO Exchange project (www.sciroccoexchange.com).
The outcomes of this webinar will inform us about the existing opportunities and tools supporting the capacity of health and social care authorities for integrated care.
