Learning objectives
Recently, the importance of promoting local health and ensure proximity of care for patients emerged as evident from different perspectives. Covid-19 pandemic was an exceptional period that brought awareness to politicians, professionals, and people about the necessity of renewing lives in terms of sustainability, digital access to services, and social connectedness. How is it possible to pursue these objectives also in inner areas, mountain areas or small islands? How is it possible to guarantee equity of treatment and excellence of care when citizens live far from large welfare centres? PROREMOTE is designed to present evidence and applied cases to answering these questions.
The Seasonal School will introduce participants specifically to the urgent topic of proximity of care according to the social, psychological, experimental and engineer sciences. Students will be involved on the issues inherent to the enhancement of data, organizational models, and technological solutions for local areas. Implications for decision making and service management will be provided, with a focus on the support to innovation of services and on the strengthening social protection networks of the analysed contexts.
Teaching methodologies
Students will find an interactive and interdisciplinary learning environment that facilitates problems understanding, setting, and solving, as well as the development of a decision-making process that considers and values all the actors of the analysed contexts. Several experts from different disciplines will participate in the program presenting their competence and experience.
Target participants
Undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students who are interested in deepening their knowledge about the most recent interdisciplinary approaches in managing the healthcare services for remote areas by using technological and organizational innovative interventions.
