How can research, politics, and practice collaborate to develop solutions for a sustainable healthcare system in Switzerland?

Milo Puhan (former President of NRP 74) in dialogue with Philomena Colatrella (CEO of CSS), Patrick Hässig (National Councillor and Registered Nurse HF), and Christos Pouskoulas (Cantonal Physician SZ).

What contributions can research, politics, and practice make to promote, disseminate, and sustainably anchor innovations in the Swiss healthcare system? How can practice use research results to implement innovative approaches? How can insurers support the development and dissemination of innovative projects? What political measures are needed to secure regional innovations? What role do the cantons play in this process? And how can research optimally support actors from politics and practice?

The European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) brings the opportunity to coordinate and optimize research and innovation efforts in Europe and its partner countries supporting the much-needed transformation of health and care systems.

Under this umbrella, the third Joint Transnational Call for proposals “Better care closer to home: Enhancing Primary and Community Care” aims to improve primary and community health and care systems, providing policymakers with knowledge and tools to manage transitions within the primary and community care sector. Projects funded under this call will deliver promising financial, organizational, and practice-based service innovations that promote the transformation of health and care systems and contribute to faster exchange of best practices across different countries and regions.
