9. Digital innovation and transformation
Digital Health
Transforming Health and social care systems
Better Quality Care for citizens
Sustainable health systems
Economic growth and job creation
Digital innovation can support health and social care systems in their transformation journey
European Commission acknowledges that Digital health can contribute to build more resilient health systems and it is also an important lever to achieve the triple aim for Europe: better quality care, more sustainable health systems and economic growth and job creation-

10. A shared vision on digital health, bringing together supply and demand
WHAT IS THE BLUEPRINT*?
A stakeholder initiative to help scale up digital transformation of Health and Care. Supported by the European Commission

With commitments to address barriers and mobilise investments
Reaching concrete targets by 2018
A tool to bring together supply and demand, mobilise political will and investment (public and private) for digital health innovation in Europe

11. Blueprint: rationale and timeframe
WHY?
Developing a shared vision – a shared diagnosis of the barriers, challenges, priorities - is essential to mobilise investment and guarantee the commitment of all relevant stakeholders
WHEN? - Timeframe
EC worked with the Champions on the initial draft and the document was opened for public consultation until Nov 2016
6-7 Dec 2016 Blueprint launched at European Summit on Innovation for Health and Active Ageing will be presented
implementation of Action Plan

12. Who is driving the Blueprint initiative?
It is driven by DG Connect (European Commission) BUT they want stakeholders to take ownership of the initiative.
Turn vision into action. Stakeholders are now identifying priority domains and then concrete actions/projects within those domains to scale-up. The goal is to deliver results in a short timeframe 2-3 years.
A bottom-up approach to scale-up digital health solutions, where demand and supply sides are defining together priority domains and projects
Stakeholders include private sector, regions, academia and carers organisations. COCIR is one of the Blueprint Champions
A bottom-up approach to scale-up digital health solutions, where demand and supply sides are defining together priority domains and projects. In practice, this means that we will be able to better understand what are the unmet societal needs that innovation can address AND map the investment commitments of health care authorities for scaling-up innovation in digital health

13. 3 Overarching Goals deployment + investment + impact

14. Why is the Blueprint relevant for the health ICT sector?
Focus and Action Plan
Funding
Breaking the silos
Acknowledges that current fragmentation of funding instruments for digital health is ill-suited for large scale deployment
Calls for defining new public-private co-financing models
Foresees other mechanisms such as tax instruments to stimulate the demand of digital health services
Tangible goals agreed with stakeholders
9 Scenarios to develop specific projects are being identified
A European investment map will be released in Q2*
Connects the dots -policy, regulatory framework, R&D&I instruments, demand and supply across the health/social care sectors
Blueprint will "connect the dots" between policy, health governance and R&I, between demand and supply, across health, social care and wellbeing, across technology, solutions and services platform (e.g. data). It will support the development of a broader and more compelling political vision on digital innovation for ageing well and the silver economy that will strengthen the societal dimension of the Digital Single Market and the digital society portfolio of the European Commission.
*Based on the investment commitments sent by regional health authorities within the framework of the Reference Sites Call
