- Advancing Care Coordination & Telehealth Deployment at
Scale (ACT@Scale) Handbook now available to implement and grow
population health management to improve patient care and reduce
costs in an aging society
- Analysis from three-year telehealth deployment in the UK, the
Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Spain delivers best practice
standards for deployment of digital care coordination at scale
Amsterdam, The Netherlands and San Sebastian,
Spain - Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global
leader in health technology today announced the results of the
Advancing Care Coordination & Telehealth Deployment at Scale
(ACT@Scale) Program during the 19th annual International Conference
on Integrated Care in San Sebastian, Spain. ACT@Scale is the first
of its kind initiative to explore the organizational and structural
processes needed to successfully implement care coordination and
telehealth services on a large scale. Published results of the
three-year program across six European regions are now available,
along with recommendations for best practices in connected
care.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has established the target
goal of a 25% relative reduction in risk of premature mortality
from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, or chronic
respiratory diseases by 2025 in Europe [1]. Connected care is
viewed by many governments as essential to enable more efficient,
patient-centric and continuous care for the aging EU population.
However, while many local connected care pilot programs are
successful, they fail to scale to their full potential.
ACT@Scale builds on the expertise and successful experiences of
the ACT program, leveraging tested collaborative methods and tools
to implement improvements, and is fully aligned with the European
Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging objectives to
deploy integrated care for chronically ill patients. The
EU-sponsored project comprises 16 partners from eight EU countries,
including 14 programs in six regions coordinated by Philips.
“The ACT@Scale program delivers a clear methodology for service
quality improvement with EU-wide evidence-based recommendations for
coordinated care and telehealth deployment, and further
demonstrates our commitment to help care providers and societies
implement and scale innovative delivery models to support tens of
thousands of elderly or people living with chronic conditions in
different local settings,” said Carla Kriwet, Chief Business
Leader, Connected Care, Philips. “We look forward to sharing the
outcomes of this study that can be successfully replicated across
the European Union. The synergy of Philips’ Connected Care
business and Research helps us to scale high impact projects
together with our customers.”
Digital health best practices for large-scale
deploymentThe ACT@Scale handbook contains recommendations
to achieve change at scale, and spotlights examples of
success. It identifies best-in-class processes, structures
and ways of working across the six participating European regions.
Insights and recommendations can be used to build large scale
deployment across Europe and beyond.
“We cannot underestimate the efforts made by healthcare
organizations in bringing about change in practice in
healthcare. Connected care is disruptive to many aspects of
current health care practice and overcoming resistance to change
and persuading healthcare professionals, patients and their
families as well as managers and those who finance care is not an
easy task,” said Prof. Stan Newman, Vice-President (International),
City, University of London. “The ACT@Scale handbook contains a host
of important recommendations to achieve change at scale and
provides an impressive insight into some of the best successes in
Europe in care coordination and telehealth to date that we can
continue to leverage for future deployments.”
Among the findings, four key areas were identified as most
essential to scale-up and drive adoption of innovation across
connected care and telehealth: Citizen
Empowerment; Stakeholder and Change
Management; Service Selection; and
Sustainability & Business Models. Examples of
success across key areas showcased in the findings include the My
Diabetes My Way online self-management platform for patients in
Scotland, which has reached a high level of patient activation with
22,000 diabetes patients across the nation who can access their
medical records online to manage their diabetes more effectively.
The Basque Country regional stratification approach has also
demonstrated success with its multi-morbid integration program,
enabling patients with complex health and social care needs at high
risk of hospital or care home admission, to lead fulfilled lives
and improved clinical outcomes. The program has succeeded to
scale up to 16,000 patients across the region by implementing
technology solutions to provide access to personalized care plans
based on clinical guidelines, and leveraging data from the EHR
(Electronic Health Record).
