Kjeld Lisby, North Denmark Region Panel discussion Promoting Innovation by means of Public Procurement

The North Denmark Region

The Challenge The Gap between what we are able to do and can afford to do increases dramatically. ”We need to be smarter and cooperate across sectors, across public/private and box-thinking has to be abandoned” Three opportunities from North Denmark Region: 1.Tele-care Nord (Medium Scale OPI/PPP on operationel level) 2.Operation and manning off Local Health-centres (OPI/OPP in smaller scale) 3. Logistics (Large scale OPI/PPP on strategic level)

The North Denmark Region TeleCare Nord: Breaking new ground  From a R&D/ pilot program to a full scale demonstration project. First example in Europe.  Collaboration across sectors, not only around the patient but also with the patient in relation to finding and implementing solutions that meet technical, organizational, legal and economic challenges of deploying full-scale operation.  Evaluation- and research design, including randomized block design, geared towards gathering evidence of effect.

Example no. 1 from The North Denmark Region TeleCare Nord: Full scale goals  Realizing the potential of telehomecare, which until now only been demonstrated in pilot and research projects  Up scale to normal operation in a normal context  Based on COPD secure a generic technical solution for other chronic disease groups  Ensure close coordination and use of national strategies, infrastructure and solutions  Supporting Patient empowerment, which is about increasing patient confidence and satisfaction, strengthen competencies for self-care in the patients own homes.

Example no. 1 from The North Denmark Region  Is not a parallel health system  Need to align expectations with the citizen.  Is finding new ways of collaboration cross sectors  Focus on sector transitions - who is responsible at any giving time  Creates new and changed roles for the health professionals  Is challenging existing legislation concerning access to personal and medical data TeleCare Nord

Example no 2 from The North Denmark Region Operation and manning off local Health Centres Service providers needed especially in sparsely populated areas. New ways of co-operation between regions, doctors, nurses, physiothera- pists, unions and companies to ensure ”24/7” and enhanced options to deal with more complex patient groups.

Example 3 from North Denmark Region Logistics The New University Hospital Aalborg Increased Flexibility in design and use of the facilities sets new standards for the logistics!!! Expanded need for a system or vendor, that can assure that the right equipment/supplies are at the right place on time in the right amount in the needed quality and right price VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) or just a new IT-system combined with Tracking and Tagging ? How many main depots do we need in Denmark within Health-care?

The North Denmark Region The Investment Potential of the North Denmark Region  A unique cross-sectoral approach to innovation  Keen understanding of the link between ICT and the clinical reality  User driven approach in developing health care solutions.
