Cooperation

Successful innovation in healthcare can only occur through open collaboration with other stakeholders in the health system. Health insurance institutions have traditionally been distant from innovation and entrepreneurship, and the Health Insurance Fund has taken on a new role with the organization of such a call. The pilots call brought together various stakeholders under the leadership of the Health Insurance Fund from the outset – healthcare service providers, academia, entrepreneurship, health insurance, and policymakers. Better-integrated healthcare services are essential in the future, and it is important, as new roles emerge and are assumed, to transparently and clearly communicate where investments are being made and what roles are being taken on.
