About
With increasing healthcare costs and decreasing numbers of healthcare professionals, the application of technology to healthcare has become essential. Technological developments are increasing at a rapid rate and digital innovations are steadily making their way into everyday clinical practice. This means that the skills that new professionals are required to maser are rapidly transforming not just the healthcare curriculum, but also the way healthcare institutions function and care pathways they provide. In addition, assessing the feasibility, viability and cost-effectiveness of new approaches is often a challenging and daunting process, which needs to be approached in a scholarly fashion.
The Research Group for Innovation, Health Economics and Digital Transformation at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute was set up in early 2022; it brings together specialists in a number of different areas. The overarching aim of the group is to conduct applied transversal research with the vision of impacting the healthcare model, it will do this by connecting multidisciplinary teams, consisting of management, innovation, digital transformation, knowledge transfer and health economics experts.
Keywords: Innovation, health economics, digital health, digital transformation, processes, healthcare, research.
