Project Summary

The digital transformation of health is dramatically requesting the use of digital technology in European health care systems. HCPs are core in accelerating the digital transformation of health. The EU Joint action Health Workforce Planning and Forecasting states digital skills are an important future skill for healthcare workers. Heath care professionals will require knowledge on how to transfer their health related skills to the new digitalised healthcare paradigm. DELIVER inspires to enhance the digital skills of HCPs by supporting the digital transformation of health within European regions.

DELIVER target groups are multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and health care managers working in the hospital and/or community care sectors.

The overall goal of the project is to enhance the digital skills of HCPs. To achieve this, DELIVER will produce five intellectual outputs:

IO1 – Needs analysis
IO2 – Digital and Organisational analysis
IO3 – Educational program and e-learning tools
IO4 – Health care professionals’ e-learning platform (HELP) for digital skills
IO5 – Policy and implementation recommendations

DELIVER will be a collaboration project of five partners from four EU countries: Denmark, Italy, Slovenia, and Italy. The partners have specific expertise, knowledge and research activities in the fields of health, education, innovation, telehealth, e-health, m-health, and in the development of training programs for HCPs.

DELIVER is an action research project and produce high quality standard results, DELIVER will apply a co-creation and co-design methodology. Co-creation is a process that creates change by working with people, organisations and communities. It will involve a participatory approach where stakeholders will participate throughout the entire project through four organised dialogue meetings in each country.

DELIVER provides high quality digital skills training for HCPs enabling them to achieve essential skills in ICT communication, home monitoring and telehealth solutions and more.
The generic transnational educational program, e-learning tools and the health care professionals’ e-learning platform will be jointly developed by partner organisations. DELIVER will directly affect approximately 350-400 HCPs across the four countries as well as indirectly affecting other members of participating organisations and citizens within the local community.

DELIVER will welcome all interested parties to the national seminars and the final European conference to share results, lessons learnt and best practices. The health care professionals’ e-learning platform for digital skills will be open and accessible to all Europeans, and provide long-long learning opportunities to enhance the digital skills of health care professionals.
