Editorial
Dear Readers, dear Friends,
it has been another busy year for our partners and us. We have agreed with the statutory health insurance BKK Werra-Meißner, located in northern Hesse, a contract to set up a comprehensive integrated care network. After „Gesundes Kinzigtal“ and “Gesundheit für Billstedt/Horn”, this will be our third region where we implement a fully population-based integrated care model.
We are also delighted to have been offered a contract by NHS England for the Health Systems Procurement Framework, where we were among the few organisations in the country that won 7 or more lots. We are looking forward to collaborate with providers, commissioners and our partners in implementing integrated care projects in the coming years in the NHS.
In our research and development work we have been successful in securing funding for three new projects, one funded by the EU and two funded by the German Innovation Fund. In addition, we are fully engaged in implementing our current EU research projects COMPAR-EU, HealthPros, Big Medilytics, Act@Scale.
A particular highlight for us was the organization of the conference „Zukunftsklänge“ to discuss the future of work in health care – person-centred, team-beased, digital – in conjunction with a concert of the World Doctors Orchestra in the beautiful philharmonic opera house “Elbphilharmonie” in Hamburg.
The activities of the last months have reassusured us that we are on the right track, but that there is much more work ahead to scale up population-based integrated care in Germany and abroad.
Read more about these activities in this issue of OptiMedium!
Sincerly,
Dr Oliver Gröne
Vice Chairman of the Board
