Steps forward for the SCIROCCO tool and its evaluation as part of SCIROCCO Exchange

description

Abstract The ambition of the SCIROCCO Exchange project is to maximise the value and impact of the B3-Maturity Model and the SCIROCCO tool. To this aim, SCIROCCO Exchange will develop an enhanced tool including a Knowledge Management Hub. The first objective of this presentation will be describing the progress and plans towards this enhanced tool. The SCIROCCO enhanced tool will support measures for scaling up integrated care, and an important part of it will involve building cross system community to facilitate transfer and scaling. Through its Knowledge Management Hub, the enhanced tool will include the capacity to integrate knowledge from highly relevant sources of information on integrated care practice and advice. To support and augment twinning and coaching activities, it will allow the searching for, combination of this knowledge and its adjustment to the maturity levels of health systems and the maturity requirements of good practices. The enhanced tool will also support the tracking of the evolution of the maturity of the health systems and the maturity requirements of good practices, which will allow the development of further functionality for improvement planning and monitoring. The second objective of this presentation will be outlining progress and plans towards the evaluation of the enhanced SCIROCCO tool. This evaluation will focus on the assessment of the enhanced tool’s personalised knowledge transfer and capacity-building support. It will provide feedback on the processes of knowledge transfer and capacity-building support, and help conclude on the key mechanisms supporting these processes. Moreover, this evaluation will feed into the development of Improvement Plans in the 9 SCIROCCO Exchange regions. The ultimate goal of this evaluation is to optimise the potential of the enhanced SCIROCCO tool as a key facilitator and integrator of knowledge transfer and capacity-building support for integrated care.
