Beyond Silos

In the Beyond Silos project, a wide range of intersectoral health solutions were pilot tested and attempted implemented in Northern Ireland, Sofia (Bulgaria), Badalona and Valencia (Spain), Campania (Italy), Amadora (Portugal) and Kinzigtal (Germany). All of the pilot places complied with the same specially developed programme for developing, implementing and assessing the new services; based on experiences from previous projects throughout Europe and with a particular focus on user involvement.

All pilot testings were assessed through the MAST model, which has been developed in participation with CIMT.

AIM

The Beyond Silos project was to promote extension and knowledge sharing related to ‘Integrated eCare’ in Europe.  ‘Integrated eCare’ is a technology that supports an intersectoral collaboration concerning the delivery of social and health care for citizens.

RESULTS

The Centre for Innovative Medical Technology and Odense University Hospital had no clinic services in the project but were responsible for the assessment. The Model for Assessment of Telemedicine (MAST) was used as a tool for the assessment and was thereby further validated.

EXTERNAL FUNDING

The project received funding through the EU programme CIP.

PARTNERS

The project consists of 13 European partners that include health organisations (hospitals, municipalities etc.), health IT companies, researchers and consultants.
