THCS SRIA (2023)

The THCS SRIA (2023) outlines a coordinated European effort to transform health and care systems into sustainable, resilient, and people-centred structures. It emphasizes digitalisation, interoperability, integrated care models, and evidence-based policymaking as key enablers for transformation.

For OPENVERSE, THCS represents a strategic collaboration target for applying immersive, interoperable, and simulation-based technologies to health ecosystems. Joint work could advance digital twins for health systems, ethics-by-design governance, and data-driven interoperability across the digital health landscape.

Basic Identification

Strategic Orientation

  • Vision Statement:

To accelerate the transformation of European health and care systems towards resilience, sustainability, and person-centredness by coordinating research, innovation, and implementation efforts across Member States.

  • Core Mission / Objectives:
    1. Develop and implement evidence-based, sustainable models of health and care delivery.
    2. Support integrated care that is proactive, data-driven, and equitable.
    3. Strengthen the resilience of health systems against shocks (e.g. pandemics, demographic changes).
    4. Enable digital and organisational innovation in healthcare through policy alignment and systemic experimentation.
  • Key Strategic Pillars / Focus Areas:
    • People-centred Care Transformation – integration of preventive, primary, and long-term care.
    • Health System Resilience and Sustainability – governance, workforce, and financial models.
    • Digital Health & Data-Driven Transformation – data spaces, AI, and interoperability.
    • Evidence-based Policymaking – cross-national evaluation and learning mechanisms.
  • Expected Outcomes / KPIs:
    • 20+ cross-country projects co-funded by 2030.
    • New evaluation frameworks for health innovation adoption.
    • Increased implementation of interoperable digital solutions across Member States.

Technological and Thematic Priorities

Theme Focus Areas Examples / Expected Results
Digital Transformation of Health Systems Adoption of interoperable, AI-supported digital solutions for care pathways. Development of secure data-sharing infrastructures.
Integrated Care Models Patient-centred design integrating public health, primary care, and social care. Cross-border testbeds for continuity of care.
Health Data Spaces & Interoperability FAIR data principles, data linkage across health domains, and semantic interoperability. Support to EHDS and secondary data use.
Workforce & Skills Transformation Upskilling healthcare professionals for digital and integrated care. Cross-country training programmes.
Sustainability and Governance Value-based healthcare, financial sustainability, and ethical data use. Policy experiments and scaling of best practices.
  • Cross-cutting Topics: ethics and trust in health data, citizen engagement, gender equality, social innovation, and sustainability.
  • Related Infrastructures / Platforms: European Health Data Space, EDIHs, EIT Health, IHI JU, and AI4HealthEU.
  • Interdependencies / Synergies: Strong complementarities with IHI JU (innovation uptake), ADRA (AI & data), and EOSC (data sharing and FAIR principles).

Governance & Ecosystem

  • Leading Organisations / Associations: THCS Partnership Coordination (CNR, Italy, and ISCIII, Spain) and 50+ national and regional funding agencies.
  • Stakeholder Groups: national and regional health authorities, research institutions, healthcare providers, policy makers, patients, and citizens.
  • Engagement Mechanisms:
    • Open calls and joint transnational funding calls.
    • Thematic workshops and policy dialogues.
    • Stakeholder consultations on SRIA updates.
  • Update Frequency: Biannual review and alignment with Work Programme priorities.
  • Contact / Participation Info: Public calls and events published via thcspartnership.eu.

Alignment with Virtual Worlds

Relevance to Virtual Worlds Domains:

The THCS SRIA provides a policy and systemic perspective on digital transformation, highly relevant for OPENVERSE’s goal of federating trustworthy, interoperable, human-centric virtual infrastructures.

  • Key Points of Alignment:
    • Human-centric digital ecosystems: Mirrors OPENVERSE’s focus on trust, ethics, and inclusion.
    • Data interoperability: Direct alignment with OPENVERSE’s technical and semantic interoperability building blocks.
    • Digital twins and simulation for policy: Health system modelling and scenario-based simulations overlap with OPENVERSE’s virtual twin logic.
