1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.
OBJECTIVES
INCA deliverable 2.4 is referred to the project second workshop, under the
European Innovation Partnership session Active and Healthy Ageing (EIPAHA), with the title: "The INCA Project - A Workshop"
Firstly, the objectives of the workshop were focused towards presenting the final
outcomes only 40 days before its completion. INCA was presented as an effective
tool to promote coordination and integration through the use of new ICT
technologies.
Moreover, this workshop aimed to help INCA Consortium to making know others
about its outcomes and sustainability.
INCA is a tool to be taken into consideration by sector decision makers in a context
where situation requires a change to confront the big challenges ahead. Public
procurement of innovation (PPI) is the aspiration of INCA, although we are
aware it is not easy to achieve. It occurs when public authorities act as a launch
customer for innovative goods or services that are typically not yet available on a
large-scale commercial basis and may include conformance testing.
Therefore, the workshop, held in Zagreb was hosted by a public body as is HZZO in
an intent to address mainly global decision makers from public healthcare
sectors, without excluding the private or independent sectors.
The Croatian Health Insurance Fund (Croatian: Hrvatski zavod za zdravstveno
osiguranje or HZZO) is a quasi-public body that administers the universal health
care system in the Republic of Croatia. Established in 1993, the HZZO is the
country's national social health insurance fund and its primary source of health
financing. HZZO is also the organism that protects personal data of all the Croatian
citizens.
The Croatian health care system provides universal health coverage to the whole
population. With an ePrescription service already working, are now deploying their
EHR foreseen to work at National level. It was in 2009 when the Croatian
Government introduced the concessions (public private partnerships whereby
county governments organize tenders for the provision of specific primary health
care services), allowing the counties to play a more active role in the organization,
coordination and management of primary health care; most primary care practices
have been privatized.
The upcoming of an older society, a shrinking of resources in the "develop" world
and the saturation of healthcare centres, is where the huge potential of ICT have its
opportunity. Through EIPs (European Innovation Partnerships) - AHA (Active and
Healthy Ageing), Commission is backing and supporting initiatives as INCA that
contribute to make of Europe an opportunity to establish itself as a global leader
capable of providing innovative responses to this challenge.
During the conference, INCA opportunities were explained as an ally to help
professionals to approach their services to the citizens. All the presentations are

done with the objective in mind to make project results available for a target public,
which has not been directly implicated in the project, while trying to ensure at te
same time that the outputs reached can be maintained after project funding has
stopped.
Sustainability elements (visibility, networking, policy consensus, users’ feedback,
funding (public or external), official recognition, competent staff, human resources
commitment, achieved sustainability of related output ...) are difficult to measure in
precise terms. But what is sure is that to continue developing and adapting a
project needs to be sustainable. And this is why Coordination is moving in several
directions seizing any opportunity searching financing beyond the funding period
and continues considering that a PPI would be the more appropriate. Even with
procurement procedures latest simplification and some especial strategies
addressing SMEs, this is a complex way to follow and without a guarantee of
success despite the many efforts undertaken.
INCA was presented as an easy and affordable solution to help those professionals
in charge of chronic patients care (everyday growing). INCA is an ICT solution that
contributes to gather all professionals (doctors, nurses, social workers service
providers, informal carers) around the patient to provide a better care according to
their needs. INCA offers a solution that is interoperable and can be integrated with
others, delivering integrated services to different contexts, uses, providers
Speakers (Coordination, Pilots partners) presented INCA socio-sanitary capabilities
and what has been done to achieve it (different models). Representatives of (three)
other projects, talked about their own experiences to reach to the same point:
integration. All recognized that in the current situation and given a cultural change
is required, this is something not easy to accomplish and needs a longer period of
time than a project timeframe to be carried out or at least for the effects to be
perceived.
However, demands and needs, point in this direction and it is only a matter of time
before the results can be seen on the ground.
1.2
TIMEFRAME
The 2nd Workshop was held in Zagreb on 20
May 2016 (month 29 of the project).
According to the Work Plan schedule, there is
a slow-down in the originally foreseen
calendar, but has had no impact due to its
small deviation and on the contrary, current
dates have been considered better due to be
closer to the project conclusion.
The event, initially foreseen to be held on the
28th month, took place really in May (M29) to
match Croatian partner agenda and also the
rest of Consortium partners agendas.
The session last a full morning with the
interventions of Coordination and the pilots
partners, plus the interventions of three
Page

expert speakers from 3 different projects that keep close relation with INCA
objectives.
The session had two fundamental parts: Part I to present INCA and its results and
Part II where INCA convergence with European Interoperability strategies was
analysed.
The workshop was preceded the day before by a Consortium working meeting to
update everybody on latest developments. So during 2 days INCA Consortium has:
 Held a working meeting (Thursday 19/05/2016),
 Carried out INCA second workshop presentation (Friday 20/05/2016),
 Counted with the collaboration of other projects working also on healthcare
integration issues, that offered their vision and their countries (Greece,
Slovenia, Luxembourg), reinforcing undoubtedly the importance and the
interest of the central topic of INCA
Summarising the event it can be said that it was a trip worth taking despite flights
combination to arrive to destiny were not good given the point of departure of the
partners.
1.3
VENUE
INCA 2nd Workshop was held at the Esplanade Hotel in Zagreb, Croatia.
This was due to the fact that partner HZZO or CHIF (in English) is located there and
make possible all the logistic preparation needed in such a type of event. They look
after everything making easy and pleasant the stay of the partners over there.
The Esplanade Zagreb Hotel dates back to 1925 and is one of the most famous
buildings in Zagreb. It has been the centre of Zagreb's social life since it opened.
The Hotel re-opened in 2004 after a complete renovation designed to flawlessly
merge the best of 21st century comforts with the alluring appeal of Art Noveau
architecture
Location:
INCA partners stayed in different hotels across the city and none was lodged in the
Esplanade. However this was not an issue since everybody could reach it either by
walk or a taxi drive. The Esplanade Zagreb Hotel is appropriately situated in the
heart of the city, what was very convenient for the Consortium meeting that was
held there on Thursday 19.
Pictures of the Consortium meeting can be seen below.

D2.4: 2nd Project Workshop
v1.0
31/05/2016
The audience addressed in this second workshop was mainly public bodies, in an
environment where new EU adhering partners are eager to learn from previous
experiences of older member states and embrace what is best for them, avoiding
the long way of failure. Some have already come a long way in projects
participation, others are far yet from European policies vision, some are already
starting to adapt their procedures to follow Europe pathway. In any case they all
present an interesting and appealing attractive for the deployment of ICT solutions
aimed at sustainability, even if their budgets are not that appealing.
We had three very interesting cases as projects collaborators. One (Greece) with a
vision mostly academic, a second (Luxembourg) amid the deployment of the Health
System in a tiny country and the last (Slovenia) that has emerged as a model to
follow in the implementation and use of the ICTs applied to and for the people.
In this environment we had an audience conscious about the message we wanted
to transmits and opened to find solutions in front of a problem that concerns and
affects all the countries.

2. PREPARATION
After the experience of first workshop celebrated within the eHealth Week in Riga
last year, this time the workshop was foreseen to be held as an individual event.
Zagreb where partner CHIF is located was chosen (with the agreement and consent
of the partner) as an intent to approach new countries in that area and especially
public bodies, due to the fact that public funding in the form of general government
and social security funds dominates the healthcare sector in the majority of EU
Member States (the main exception being Cyprus, where public funding is less than
50% of total healthcare expenditure).
2.1.
Promotion
The workshop was broadly disseminated from each of the partners websites as well
as from the own website of the project, to reach the largest target group.
As can be seen in the above picture, previous to the event, the workshop was
promoted via the INCA website, banners, brochures, each Consortium partner NoI

ORGANIZATION
To prepare and arrange every detail of the Conference, Quart de Poblet team and
IDI EIKON have worked closely together with the Croatian partner hosting the
event and that took care of all the logistic details. They made this event possible
and contributed to make our life easier while being there. Neither can we forget
about the rest of partners that also contributed and collaborated to make the event
happen. All the pilots intervene to present summarily their cases.

It was a good occasion to meet once more personally and discuss and revise the
project development.
The topics of the session were chosen by the Consortium. The event was (virtually)
divided in two parts: one for presenting the project results and the other to tackle
the issue of interoperability. With a presentation first of the three guests, INCA
closed the session with a pragmatic proposal based on the utilization of Personal
Health Records (PHR), reusing investments done and ensuring subsequent
sustainable and interoperable full deployments under real-market conditions.
INCA is an evidence based solution addressed to the management of chronics able
to adapt to customers demands and able to interoperate and integrate with existing
solutions and/or with third parties solutions, with an ever continuous incorporation
of upcoming innovations.
INCA Consortium considered important to explain the INCA experience from the
perspective of pilots outcomes and the potential of sustainability, especially for
those that opt for new models of doing things. It seems that for smaller countries
the adoption of new models is more feasible and hence more likely to be
successful.
2.3.
PARTICIPATION
INCA Conference gathered an audience of more than 50 people. Although not a big
number, resulted, in any case, bigger than the first one despite that one being done
within a large event (but with many different parallel sessions).
The meeting lasted from 9:00 to 14:00 starting with a coffee and ending with an
informal lunch for all the assistants.
The forum assistance was mostly of a local nature as might have been expected. In
any case, we believe INCA presentation may be regarded as a successful outcome.
Our experiences in the organization of public events of projects are mixed and we
do consider any alternatives: individual events, participation in big events (events
prepared by Commission (events where Commission does intervene: Annual ICTs,
Interministerial events, eHealth Weeks, etc. -although in most cases participation is
by invitation only), in others attendants no-speakers, have to pay and usually
renowed events are not cheap, but main difficulty overall is the need to book well in
advance what means a problem when matching different and several agendas. The
clustering with other projects is also an interesting option.
But with a view towards sustainability, the end of a project is always an issue. It is
in this last mile where the main support is important because it is at this point
where many good ideas with potential to reach a brilliant future, stop. Despite the
many initiatives backing SMEs and entrepreneurs, it cannot be forgotten that a
procurement (even if lighter), is a procurement, with procedures and time very
difficult to back in the day to day by any SME. We (in Europe) should strive to be as
good in exploitation as we are at Research and Innovation to prevent being left
aside from any potential further benefit.

AGENDA
The full session was decision of the Consortium. It was agreed that the first part
would be dedicated to the project and the second to the convergence with
European Interoperability strategies and other projects came in our help
complementing their experiences in similar fields.
Dissemination of the event and invitations to regional/national contacts has been a
task of all the partners.

right of the speakers and the other of INCA (to the left).
The full session (as all the other sessions) was
conducted in English as the official language of the
event, except the presentation of the Croatian Pilot that
in deference to the local audience was spoken in
Croatian but slides showed in English.
Food logistics were organised by CHIF partner, that
offered the Workshop Coffees and also an informal
lunch at the end of the session. The booking of the rooms was also done by the
Croatian partner. The session was free.

ATTENDEES
Attendees were provided (by the general organisation of the event) with coffee and
pastries during the registration verification and an informal lunch at the end of the
session. A flyer was handed to all the assistants once accommodated and previous
to the start of the session. A short satisfaction questionnaire was handed to every
assistant in order to have a feedback from the attendees about the Workshop
content and organization.
3.3.
OUTCOMES
The second conference has been an opportunity to present the work done and
detect the interest in carrying the project beyond its time frame. INCA Conference
was published on the INCA website and Newsletter 9 was dedicated to its
announcement.
INCA presentation was well executed and despite lasting an entire morning was
easy enough to grasp and general feeling is that assistants enjoyed it.
3.3.1
INCA Awareness
Along the INCA project we have kept involving all the target groups dealing with all
the variants of long-term care: Care Professionals, Care Providers, Care
Foundations and Consultancies, Local, Regional and National authorities, IT
responsible, other projects, etc. Every event and publication has been an
opportunity to enlarge our Network of Interest, who has been receiving our
newsletters, updates and invitations to events.
The second workshop has been an opportunity to approach firsthand new countries
reality to better understand their positions and reach new stakeholders and share
with them our experiences in the project.
The following graphic shows the event participation per countries. Croatia absorbing
the greatest majority of the participants, what was not a surprise. Consortium is
aware that unless exposing at international events as in the first workshop (eHealth
Week) or MWC (Mobile World Congress), participants, besides those of the own
Consortium, are usually reduced to a local audience and/or nearby countries'
neighbours.
Croatia participants were followed by Spanish (again nothing surprising, since they
are the more numerous in the project).

The workshop has produced a lot of information and some conclusions. The most
important ones are available from the website. The workshop has provided us with
new contacts among them other projects collaborators, opening new opportunities
to compare our work with those of others and weight our sustainability possibilities
out in Europe
3.3.2
Satisfaction Assessment
Satisfaction assessment from the answers obtained has been high (within a limited
number of answers, included those of the own partners).
Besides to the workshop, in 2016, other actuations have also been taking place at
some important forums, as the one in Barcelona (MWC) or the Conference at the
Provincial Council of Valencia, visits to the Ministry, plus other continuous work
taking place every day that often go unnoticed but
are important on the
effectiveness and the long-term sustainability.
An online questionnaire was accessed by the attendees, to know the satisfaction
degree of the event and the INCA approval.
Between the surveys answered by partners and the surveys answered by
participants, we have collected 39 results that have been processed, obtaining the
results that can be found below. An overall satisfaction degree regarding the
conference, organization, venue, speakers, and INCA project information can be
extracted from the questionnaires. As can be seen, results have been, in general,
good, answers moving from satisfying to very satisfying. However, always lessons
can be extracted for upcoming occasions.

LESSONS LEARNED
Integrated care aims to improve patient care and experience through improved
coordination.
There are many different types of integration however, we mention only those used
in INCA aiming to integrate services without altering existing structures
Horizontal
Virtual
Vertical
Meso-level
Bringing together organisations providing care services e.g.
clinical - social (Hospital and/or Primary Care Centre and Local
Council Social Services Department)
Partnerships and networks between organisations
Bringing together organisations providing services at different
levels e.g. between primary and secondary care or even
between departments
Delivering integrated care to a particular population sub-group
e.g. for a certain condition
(would be in our case a subgroup of one of the two integration
types or the both)
INCA rationale is one around addressing fragmentation, acknowledging that silo
working, poor communication and a lack of coordination between organisations
prevents patients from being able to move around and through the system easily.
INCA is but a tool to facilitate greater integration of services and facilitate
professional performance and patient monitoring without changing structures.
However integrative processes can involve changing cultural, behavioural and
relational attitudes, which is challenging. This is in fact, the hardest part of all.

Integrated care should optimize the diagnosis, treatment and management
of CHRONIC patients
The general practitioner(GP) or Family Doctor, as the professional closest to
the patient is a key figure in the integration of care.
Integrated care should be easy accessible for both patients and healthcare
providers
The allocation of tasks and cooperation between primary and secondary care
as well as along all the chain of care should be clearly defined.
Integration needs IT initiatives as INCA to engage clinicians and
professional bodies in the planning, implementation, management and
governance structures.
Integration needs a commitment to integrated public policies for public
health, health promotion and population health, including a framework for
health and social care, inter-sectoral partnerships, and agreements with
municipal authorities.
Integration needs evidence based service frameworks as a strategy to raise
quality of care, decrease variations in service delivery and ensure
accountability of providers.
Integration needs a performance monitoring and reporting system which
defines evidence-based, outcome-oriented regional standards, supports the
development of locally determined health targets, and aligns performance
measures, quality improvement and public reporting activities.
