COLLABORATION. It was a fully booked event when GPCC recently presented current research in person-centered care during the Sahlgrenska Academy’s GoCo Founding Partner Session. The seminar delved into the future of efficient, sustainable, and equitable healthcare systems.

SPEAKERS: Ann-Marie Wennberg Larkö, physician, professor Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg and chair, National Board for Healthcare Professionals and former hospital director of Sahlgrenska University Hospital Håkan Hedman, chairman of the Swedish Kidney Association, chairman of GPCC’s person council for patients and relatives Linda Mårlind,Global VP R&D Wound Care, Mölnlycke Healthcare Inger Ekman, nurse, senior professor, Sahlgrenska Academy Katarina Halling, Global Head, Patient Centered Science, AstraZeneca Jan Törnell, physician, adjunct professor Sahlgrenska Academy Maria Taranger, physician, area manager for area 6, Sahlgrenska University Hospital Ulf Petrusson, professor of law, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg Axel Wolf, nurse, professor, Sahlgrenska Academy and Center Director, GPCC

The program was put together by the Center for Person-Centered Care at the University of Gothenburg GPCC. It included testbeds for home care and person-centered health and healthcare governance in a digital age. During the event, the importance of societal transition for future healthcare was highlighted. To enable innovation, collaboration, and quality, the importance of testbeds and policy labs was emphasized.

The future of efficient, sustainable, and equitable healthcare systems, right into your home. This was the focus of the fully booked GoCo Founding Partner Session: A seminar on person-centered care in the digital era, held on February 27.

The purpose of GoCo Health Innovation City Founding Partner Sessions is for participants to learn more about the scientific cutting edge in Gothenburg. Now, it was the founding partner Sahlgrenska Academy that hosted the session. They had chosen to spotlight the Center for Person-Centered Care GPCC, a national center and strategic research area since 2010.

Packed program

GPCC’s center director, Professor Axel Wolf, had put together a packed program. Nine people from GPCC and collaborators from industry, academia, and civil society spoke during the afternoon. They addressed a variety of themes such as testbeds for home healthcare and person-centered governance in a digital age.

“It was very exciting that there was a record audience, where the absolute majority were from the business sector, small to medium-sized companies, but also several individuals from patient organizations and other representatives from civil society,” said Axel Wolf after the seminar.

Cultural change

The presentations and themes raised questions from the audience about everything from AI and the role of the physician in future person-centered care, to how organizational structure and culture can be systematically changed in a scalable way, even for entire regions and countries, to enable person-centered and integrated care in healthcare and education.

During the session’s summary and the way forward, the panel agreed that there is a need to educate everyone in society about how healthcare may look in the future. For example, moving healthcare into homes or out into the community is a crucial factor in the future of healthcare, which will minimize the need for hospital visits.

Testbeds and policy labs

The seminar generated great interest.

Patients will need to take a more active role, based on capacity, and healthcare professionals will need to work in partnership with patients and each other. This requires innovation and collaboration among all relevant parties, in testbeds and policy labs, for example. Education and communication are also required. An example mentioned was the collaboration platform Person-Centered Patient-Public-Private Partnership PCP4, and the Nordic Intergeproject which has now been initiated, focusing on More home dialysis for better health, quality of life, and cost control.

Ann-Marie Wennberg Larkö, former Hospital Director of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, pointed out that the clinical research on person-centered care and the implementation of a person-centered approach at Sahlgrenska University Hospital has played a significant role in Västra Götaland County being ranked as the best in clinical research in Sweden for the second time.

“We have a long tradition of collaboration between academia, industry, and society in Gothenburg,” summarized Ulf Petrusson. Let us make sure that GoCo becomes more than just a meeting place.
