The collaboration lab will provide practical experience with new collaboration models between specialist and primary health care, and at the same time highlight which data should be shared and which digital tools are needed to create safe and seamless services.
"By bringing together professionals from hospitals and municipalities, we can learn from each other and find out what works. This is step-by-step and user-friendly innovation in practice, where we develop, test, learn and share solutions together," says project manager Karin Sygna at OUS.

The initiative is part of the larger initiative in the Oslo Health Community: "Together on digital home monitoring and data sharing", in which all four hospitals in Oslo and the municipality participate. The health community was established to strengthen cooperation between specialist and municipal health services, and ensure that patients receive comprehensive and coherent services - regardless of where they receive treatment.
As part of the initiative, OUS and the municipality of Oslo are well underway with two collaborative projects: one that deals with scaling digital home monitoring in OUS districts, and one that looks at digital collaboration and data sharing. The collaboration lab in Health2B has been established as a practical arena for this work, and in the first phase the work concerns patients with digital home monitoring (DHO).
