European collaboration to tackle innovation of procurement in healthcare

A consortium of seven leading European university hospitals, coordinated by Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, will join efforts to innovate procurement of digital health and care services. The project will engage all stakeholders, such as hospitals, developers, industrial partners, medical researchers and health professionals as well as patients, in order to address unmet needs in hospital services and develop methods for procurement of innovation. 

The project is funded by Horizon2020, the European Union research framework program. It kicked-off during the first project meeting in Vienna on December 3rd, 2018, and will run until 2021.
