\u00a0in other industries with the use of ITC in the care sector its core came increasingly out of sight. A tool implemented to support the value creation process of the care system<\/span>2<\/span> became a tool to serve administrative services and, in the end, a monstruous leviathan that serves overwhelming regulations and swallows ever more organisational energy. It seems the genuine value creation process, the care itself, became an unfortunately unavoidable side effect of the care system\u2019s administration.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To make digital transformation a means of enabling good care and support with those in need of it and of fostering inclusion, first and foremost this transformation has to refocus on the core of the value creation in the social system:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_css_free_form=“.selector {width: 100%;}“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_heading title=“Interoperability allows for integration“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“5043d29c-c7f7-40fb-a85f-d98906625564″ title_text_color=“#F5F5ED“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“]<\/p>\n Highly efficient integrated end-2-end processes do not rely on a fully integrated single peace of technology but on the seamless flow of data and information between different specialized applications that allow for a fully integrated, seamless workflow of different agents.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The health sector in Germany is a showpiece of a very costly social sub-system that is highly inefficient due to a fully non-interoperable IT systems landscape, hence producing lots of unproductive process steps, high costs, and poor outcomes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Currently in the care sector \u201conly\u201d 11% of the working time in Germany is used for documentation. In hospitals physicians spend more than 50% of their working time on serving not patients but different IT systems often more than one time with the input of the same data. Because most of the IT systems in use have no interfaces, do not use a common terminology etc., data are not stored in a structured manner, therefore cannot be analysed automatically, and even have to be transferred between to departments by printer-scanner\/keyboard interfaces.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from the consequences for the quality of medical treatment, another adverse effect of this ’system‘ is that the quality of data is very poor \u2013 too poor to be used for remuneration purposes. This results in extremely long cash-to-cash cycles and eight-digit annual deficits at large clinics, as medical services cannot be invoiced.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Under these circumstances using data in order to increase the quality of medical care is nothing but illusive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Whether the over-aged technology stack for elderly care and support for people with disabilities has to be set up entirely new or could be renovated, interoperability that allows for a seamless data flow between innovative technical solutions and all involved systems is an indispensable prerequisite for a successful transformation of the social sector.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here this interoperability should not be limited to the social sector alone but extended to the health sector. For that reason, already existing international standards such as HL7 FIHR and openEHR should apply and if necessary extended e.g. with respect to the integration of LTC specific terminologies such as SIS. (For more information on this subject see <\/span>Why interoperability matters!<\/span><\/a>).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At present, the usage of digital technologies in elderly care and disability support is still limited. With the closed documentation systems today in place in Germany each additional innovative solution would be a non-interoperable stand-alone tool, and its usage would lead to additional administrative overhead for the professional caregivers. The availability of data, their quality, integrity, and consistency would not increase but decrease. At the end of the day, without seamless interoperability on the base of international standards, the \u201cdigitalisation\u201d of the care system would lead to a situation similar to the one in the German health sector. Nobody can really want that. So, when transforming the LTC sector lets learn from the health sector and leapfrog it be means of total interoperability<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We should never forget: It\u2019s not about technology. It\u2019s about good care and support for those in need. Not only administration but technology as well is not a purpose but nothing but a means to a social end. Humans are not created to serve technology. Technology is made to serve humans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_css_free_form=“.selector {width: 100%;}“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_heading title=“The future of Innoclusion Living labs: transformation centres “ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“5043d29c-c7f7-40fb-a85f-d98906625564″ title_text_color=“#F5F5ED“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“]<\/p>\n The transformation of the care sector needs a systematic approach. This approach cannot be developed from a mere academic perspective. Practical experience is the basis for respected expertise that allows for an integration of the different stakeholders into a vertically aligned as well as bottom-up driven transformation process. The living labs, as established and developed within the Innoclusion project, create the ideal point at which to apply leverage for transformation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here not only solution providers with members of the organisation to which the LLabs are attached could evaluate a\/o develop single innovations together. The LLabs provide the space to systematically develop the new socio-technical action patterns that make up for the transition as a whole. This development will be collaborative\u00a0 in integrating more and more care organisations into a joint initiative. First steps into this direction already have been gone, e.g. by setting up an \u201cInnovators\u2019 Meet-up\u201d, an initiative by the LLab in Kork. LLabs in other European countries already existing or yet to be set up can become part of the initiative. Information and best practices will be spread and shared by the respective SIGs of the EU|BIC network, e.g.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_css_free_form=“.selector {width: 100%;}“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][et_pb_heading title=“Process orchestration“ _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“5043d29c-c7f7-40fb-a85f-d98906625564″ title_text_color=“#F5F5ED“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.27.4″ _module_preset=“default“ global_colors_info=“{}“ theme_builder_area=“post_content“]<\/p>\n The role of these future transformation <\/span>centres <\/span>will be to orchestrate and manage<\/span> development activi<\/span>ties not in a <\/span>mere <\/span>user-centric but a <\/span>joint <\/span>collaborative <\/span>way. <\/span>As mentioned above, the subject of <\/span>transformation centres will not be the development of technology<\/span> alone. <\/span>The transformation centres <\/span>intertwine the exploration <\/span>and if <\/span>necessary,<\/span> development of tech<\/span>nical means <\/span>with and for the <\/span>develop<\/span>ment of<\/span> new proceedings<\/span>.<\/span> In doing so they speed up the <\/span>process of developing new socio-technical patterns that are the <\/span>necessary prerequisite<\/span> that an invention could become a <\/span>large scale<\/span> innovation (see <\/span><\/span>Why Living Labs are so important for the transformation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>)<\/span>.
