Enabling effective knowledge sharing through a Knowledge Hub

Abstract

Abstract The objective of the THCS Knowledge Hub is to facilitate and implement effective knowledge sharing and capacity-building activities for the transformation of health and social care systems in Europe, tailored to the users’ needs and local context in order to prepare the ground for the transformation of health and social care systems. The Hub acts as personalised and interactive “matchmaking” platform which will allow the potential users to (a) access, provide and search for personalised and tailored resources generated in the THCS community but also beyond, reflecting the local maturity and conditions enabling the transformation of health and social care systems; (b) facilitate a support for the potential adaptation and transferability of these resources across the European health and social care settings through the functional use of THCS Innovation Transferability Framework; (c) enable the policy dialogue and capacity-building support for policy-makers in order to enhance their skills, knowledge and experience in health and social care transformation; (d) access and engage with THCS community of experts and ecosystems in order to maximise the access and use of the exiting knowledge and expertise for the transformation of health and social care systems; (e) signpost to existing evidence and resources related to health and social care transformation to enable effective knowledge sharing (educational webinars, peer review activities, study visits, training workshops), exchange of good practices and experience in transforming health and social care systems.
