D-CARE Transnational Policy Learning Center

Smart Care Policy is an essential element of advancing and rolling out smart care models on a broad range. In order to provide policy makers with tools, knowledge and best practice insights from other countries we established a Transnational Policy Learning Center for policy makers on all levels of administration and governance as well as interest groups working to advance smart care policy in their region.

Throughout the project, several transnational and national events took place on the topic of smart care policy such as our virtual conference and the regional workshops. This reflects the two pronged approach our project took to advance smart care policy: a transnational, meta-level approach which is articulated in the Transnational Smart Care Strategy and the regional counterpart in which concrete priorities and action points have been elaborated.

The outputs of the efforts on both transnational and national level are collected in our digital transnational policy learning center. The knowledge and practical tools are useful for policy makers of different levels as well as actors from health and care aiming to advance smart care policy in their region and beyond.

The Transnational Smart Care Strategy defines a vision for smart care in Europe and identifies action fields and implementation methods which need to be operationalised on a regional level.

The Best Practice Manual gives an in-depth overview over successful smart care policy implementation in European regions and countries. They offer a great inspiration and valuable learning insights.

The knowledge diffusion toolkit encompasses a variety of tools and strategies to spread smart care knowledge and advance smart care policy.
