3. • Significant and sustainable improvements in the
quality and efficiency of health and social care
can be obtained trough the procurement of
R&D services that can lead to solutions and
technologies that do not yet exist and that will
outperform the solutions available on market

4. Agenda
• First project. e-dis Dysphagia Tele-Rehabilitation
• Projects in development and assessment.
• Last challenge: e-blood Living Lab.
• Conclusion: R2R methodology for e-Innovation.
• Where & How: SP-KC & ACO

5. e-dis. Disphagia Tele-Rehabilitation

6. Why exercise with ?
It exits evidence that swallow
musculature increase strength/tone
with non-swallow excercises and
increased strength/tone translates into
improved function.

13. • Platform of Innovation - Mision
Sant Pau - Knowledge Center (SP-KC)
Center of Biotechnological Knowledge and Industrialists Demonstrator for
Innovation in Public Health
• To improve patient care by facilitating collaboration among patients, scientists,
engineers/technologists and clinicians
• To catalyze the discovery, development and implementation of innovative technologies
• Emphasizing minimally invasive approaches, e-health and primary care

16. Accountable care organizations
Accountable care organizations: A new idea for managing Medicare
The goal of ACOs is to encourage physicians and hospitals to
integrate care by holding them jointly responsible for Medicare
quality and costs.
By Jane Cys, amednews correspondent. Posted Aug. 31, 2009
The ACO also would need a designated administrator and a formal
organization that could serve as a point of contact, work with
payers, monitor performance and collect any shared savings. The
physicians, hospital and other ACO members would need to agree
on how to divide any earned bonuses.

Health Care Reform at Brookings Institution
