Digital Vision – Integrating Care

AIM

The aim of the project is to develop and test digital solutions to support the collaboration between hospital, municipalities and general practitioners in order to achieve integrated care and smooth patient pathways.

The project focuses on patients with heart diseases at the Department of Internal Medicine and Acute Medicine at Svendborg Hospital and the Department of Cardiology at Odense University Hospital, but the ambition is to contribute with materials, experience and procedures which may also be used in other specialities and with other patient groups.

The two pilot departments each have a number of independent sub-projects which aim to support the implementation of current technologies as well as the testing of new technologies. Some of the first sub-projects include the implementation and use of virtual ward rounds where relatives can participate via video, integration of wireless ECG and development of a concept to support patients with limited digital skills.

The specific sub-projects are evaluated as they are completed, and the project as a whole is also followed for research and evaluation.

The project is based on the previous innovation and research project Digital Vision.
