Norway – Research and development services and related consultancy services – Analysis of the Health Platform

The Ministry of Health and Care Services would like an analysis of the Health Platform following up the Storting's decision: "The Norwegian Parliament asks the government to ensure that an independent, limited analysis is carried out so that the aim of the analysis shall be learning for equivalent projects and further improvement and further development of the Health Platform. This is to ensure the interaction, quality and efficiency goals in the services at all levels. The implementation and organisation of the analysis shall not affect ongoing improvements and further development of the Health Platform. The analysis shall refer to the existing knowledge basis." The aim of the analysis shall be learning for equivalent projects and further improvement and further development of the Health Platform. The objective is two parts: Part one focuses on the learning and improvement dimension for other equivalent projects. • Equivalent projects are to be understood as digitalisation projects in the health and welfare sector, but other sectors can also be relevant. We will use DFØ/the Project Wizard ́s definition of a digitalisation project. • The analysis shall emphasise what promotes and inhibits interaction and sharing of data across actors and levels. • The analysis shall point out the areas that have a value for learning, and identify and analyse the mechanisms that caused the known risk factors to have such major consequences. Furthermore, the analysis includes learning from all phases of a digitalisation project, including the procurement phase. • The analysis shall take the starting point in the targets of interaction, quality and efficiency in the services at all levels. • The analysis shall emphasise what promotes and inhibits interaction and sharing of data across actors and levels. Part two is about the Health Platform and is limited to • Improvement and further development of the Health Platform, and is not a decision basis for whether the Health Platform shall be discontinued or not. • See this part of the analysis for a programme for user friendliness and optimisation organised by the Health Platform.
