Tak til Sundhedsstrukturkommissionen for grundigt arbejde (og for at bruge vores analyser)

Vi er stadig godt i gang med at n?rl?se Sundhedsstrukturkommissionens rapport, men ser allerede god musik i anbefalingerne om digitalisering og data. Det afspejler i h?j grad det, som vi ogs? h?rer efterspurgt fra de mange ledere, eksperter og entrepren?rer. Og vi tror p?, at det er den rigtige vej frem for dansk sundhedsv?sen.

Vi er ogs? enormt stolte af at se vores egen rapport ”Bedre Digital Sundhed: anbefalinger og kortl?gning af barrierer og strukturelle l?sningsforslag” er tydeligt afspejlet og henvist til 20 gange igennem rapporten, s?rligt kapitel 10.

Godt arbejde, vi og mange andre hepper!

Det er ogs? klogt at tr?kke organisering af digitalisering og data ind som en s?rskilt tv?rg?ende anbefaling og ud af de tre hovedmodeller om organisering af fremtidens behandling, s? fremtidens digitale sundhedsv?sen ikke alene strander ved politiske diskussioner om antal regioner og forvaltning.

Den opdeling medf?rer dog ogs? en risiko for, at der kommer til at mangle noget, der falder imellem to stole. For v?rdien af digitalisering og data skabes ude iblandt borgerne og sundhedspersonalet, ikke blot i en IT-koncern.

Digitalisering og data skaber st?rst v?rdi, n?r det er integreret i og transformerer m?den, vi laver behandling p?. Derfor anbefalede vi f.eks. telemedicinske centre, som vi ser dem i udlandet, hvor der er bjerge og ikke alene marker imellem sundhedsv?senet og borgerne. Hvor man kan f? en l?ge med kort ventetid og uden en halv dag i bilen, uanset om man bor i storby eller yderomr?de (vores anbefaling 4 i Bedre Digital Sundhed).

Og vi kan tydeligt se, at st?rre hospitaler og kommuner har ressourcer og kompetencer til at l?fte implementering af digitalisering p? en helt anden m?de end de mindre – for ikke at tale om selvst?ndige l?ger, fysioterapeuter mv. Derfor anbefalede vi f.eks., at give de store hospitaler og kommuner et forpligtende ansvar og ?konomiske incitamenter til at hj?lpe de mindre, igennem teknologiske forpligtende f?llesskaber (vores anbefaling 3 i Bedre Digital Sundhed).

Vi ser frem til at forts?tte vores arbejde med at fremme digital sundhed og samarbejde med interessenter p? tv?rs af sektorer for at realisere de visioner, der er skitseret i begge rapporter.

Thank you to the Health Structure Commission for thorough work (and for using our analyses)

by Health Tech Hub Copenhagen

We are currently thoroughly reading the Health Structure Commission's report, but can already see promising recommendations regarding digitization and data. This greatly reflects what we also hear demanded from many leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs. We believe as well that this is the right way forward for the Danish healthcare system.

We are also immensely proud to see our own report, "Better Digital Health: recommendations and mapping of barriers and structural solutions” clearly reflected and referenced 20 times throughout the report, especially in chapter 10.

?

Well done, we and many others are cheering!

It is also wise to include the organization of digitization and data as a separate cross-cutting recommendation, rather than solely within the three main models for organizing future care. This ensures that the future digital healthcare system does not get bogged down in political discussions about the number of regions and administration.

However, this division carries a risk, for the value of digitization and data is created among citizens and healthcare personnel, not solely through an IT conglomerate.

Digitization and data creates most value when integrated into and transforming the way we deliver care. Therefore, we recommended, for example, telemedicine centers, as we see them abroad, where there are mountains rather than just fields between the healthcare system and citizens. Where one can see a doctor with a short wait time and without spending half a day in the car, whether living in a big city or a remote area (our recommendation 4 in "Better Digital Health").

?

We can clearly see that larger hospitals and municipalities have the resources and competencies to implement digitization in a completely different way than smaller ones—not to mention independent doctors, physiotherapists, etc. Therefore, we recommended e.g. giving large hospitals and municipalities a binding responsibility and financial incentives to help the smaller ones through technologically binding communities (our recommendation 3 in "Better Digital Health").

?

We look forward to continuing our work to promote digital health and collaborating with stakeholders across sectors to realize the visions outlined in both reports.
