WeLL SYMPOSIUM 2023 | Culture of Innovation

International Symposium on digital health & care

Where international experience meets science and industry; to connect, share and improve healthcare

See you on friday 10th of March 2023

International Symposium on digital health & care

NeLL was founded five years ago, giving us a reason to celebrate and reflect on what we have achieved in the past five years.

We would like to invite you to provide a glimpse into the future of healthcare and show you our transition into the global healthcare market with the World eHealth Living Lab (WeLL).

During this one-day live event, we will share information on the culture of innovation in an ever-changing healthcare system. With challenges like an ageing population, rising healthcare costs, fragmented healthcare supply and advancing medical technologies and IT-systems. Population healthcare management and culture of innovation are entwined.

A multidisciplinary team chaired by prof. Niels H. Chavannes and prof. Mattijs E. Numans, and hosted bij the National eHealth Living Lab (NeLL) and Health Campus The Hague.

The symposium intends to connect (healthcare)professionals, academics, students and start-ups from all over the world to share ideas, insights and experiences. Together we work on the worldwide adoption of more intelligent, better, inclusive and digital person-centered health and care.

We offer an online full-day program with all keynote speakers and 2 break-out sessions from the plenary hall. When participating live, there is the possibility to choose between the different break-out sessions offered.

Session 1 Implementation of eHealth in daily practice; Evaluate and learn!

Curious about the buttons your healthcare organisation can push to implement eHealth successfully? In this workshop, we will evaluate some cases with the quick scan of the Hybrid Healthcare Quality Assessment (HHQA). Evaluate and learn from each other about which factors are essential to transform to hybrid care.

The workshop will be conducted by Kyma Schnoor, PhD student NeLL and Unilabs, and Rosian Tossaint PhD, NeLL. Both are researching eHealth implementation. Rosian Tossaint developed the HHQA during her PhD project.

Session 2 Design thinking and cultural changes

In this workshop, we will explain how we use design thinking as a method for improving (complex) work environments such as hospitals, and which cultural challenges we encounter. We would like to discuss these challenges together and actively work on them in a co-creation session. You will get an impression of applying design thinking in practice and discover why it is valuable.

Session 3 Cultural Atlas: Your route to achieving international cooperation

International cooperation is essential as healthcare challenges transcend national borders. But how do you do it? In this workshop, you will learn about cultural differences and how to bridge these to achieve effective international cooperation.
