TICC will create systemic change in health & social care, providing services better suited to our ageing population addressing holistic needs. It will present a methodology to overcome blocking points in transferring socially innovative service models from 1 area to another. This will be tested via the implementation of the Buurtzorg integrated care at home model (http://bit.ly/2bCQRLG: self-managing teams of 12 staff working at neighbourhood level handling every aspect of care & business, significantly reduced back office, simple IT & coaches rather than managers, providing better outcomes for people, lower costs/unplanned hospital admissions & consistent care) into new geographic & cultural contexts. TICC will enable other health/social care organisations to implement new ideas; increase staff productivity/recruitment/retention/patient satisfaction & decrease costs/emergency admissions/staff absence & will aim to postpone the moment when residential/end of life care is needed.

Blueprint for successful transfer of social innovative service models in health & social care from 1 country to another benefitting all public/private services 3 new countries adopting integrated neighbourhood care (BE, FR & UK) – neighbourhood based self-managing teams providing holistic person-centred care.

Changes to existing patient-data gathering systems using the Omaha logic for better communication between nurses, care
workers & citizens Publications to stimulate entrepreneurs & leaders to create new organisations or transform existing organisations,
ensuring this is not solely an institutional response.

Beneficiaries:

• Patients: improved services – possibility to introduce new practices quickly & effectively
• Health & social care providers: able to be more reactive in care provision, increased staff retention from higher job satisfaction
• Public purse: costs of providing care decrease

PP2 has developed a radical & highly successful model for providing home care nursing which has generated much interest in the 2Seas area. However front-line care providers are blocked by constraints within existing state health structures & have not yet been able to duplicate the model elsewhere in Europe. TICC PPs bring expertise to identify barriers blocking innovation transfer & will design a methodology to ensure successful innovative practices in health & social care can be easily implemented across borders. The 2Seas programme gives the opportunity for a regional European test before a wider roll-out the health & care systems in the 4 countries are all very different & cover the majority of models used across Europe & PPs cover public private & 3rd sector. As such our collaboration will ensure transferability across the whole EU. By working in partnership across 4 countries the TICC implementation will highlight barriers individual partners may not encounter in isolation
