On 25 January, Dr Astrid van der Velde of Isala Heart Centre in the Netherlands was one of 75 speakers at AgeingFit 2021. On a panel about innovative organisational models for home-based care and services in Europe, she updated an audience of more than 80 participants about the hospitalisation at home collaboration of NWE-Chance. The attendees came largely from countries around northern Europe.
The two other panellists were Fredrik Gulowsen from Nyby (Norway) and Henry Quinn of NHS Dementia (Harmonia) Village (United Kingdom).
The panel’s focus was on scalability into other regions and countries, and sustainability of the initiatives. Key was how to spread services beyond the borders of one’s own location and country through good organisation and investment. Brought together in one spot were insights from three innovative types of organisations: platforms, care homes, and the hospital at home.
NWE-Chance is especially bringing together nurses and cardiologists to support heart patients in their own homes, by using services supported by the use of mobile phones and the cloud.
