EHTEL 2014 Symposium "Innovating for Better Outcomes in Health and Social Care"

EHTEL25 - 26 November 2014, Brussels, Belgium.
In 2014, speakers, panellists and delegates will share lessons on innovation in health and social care and their link to health outcomes; integrated care communities; telemedicine moving from theory to practice and other subjects. They will also continue last year's debate on Big Data vs. Big Health.

The EHTEL 2014 Symposium will be run in close partnership with two projects:

  • ENGAGED is a Thematic Network that has built a learning community of stakeholders from different backgrounds and from across different European countries. Its aim is to nurture the emergence of innovative and sustainable active and healthy ageing services that make best use of technology. In its final conference ENGAGED will emphasise its role as a sharing community that brings together people and groups interested in this field from Europe and around the globe.
  • MOMENTUM is a Thematic Network that has built a community of telemedicine doers from different backgrounds and from across different European countries. It aims to advance telemedicine in routine care of European health systems. This community has identified 18 critical success factors for starting and scaling-up well-defined telemedicine services. At the occasion of the EHTEL symposium, the network will present the lessons learned by early adopters in the form of a Blueprint for scaling-up telemedicine.

Both projects will demonstrate their place in EHTEL's "innovation circle", a novel approach of understanding innovation, innovation governance and collective innovation developed and maintained by the EHTEL Innovation Task Force.
