Sažetak
European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) brings together partners to create innovative solutions to the challenges of aging. Reference Sites (RS) of the Partnership act as hubs of innovation and assist the scale-up of identified solutions. "Blueprint on Digital Transformation of Health and Care for the Ageing Society" (The Blueprint) is guiding the shift towards ICT enabled patient-centered care. To further inform its development, a tool has been created and piloted across RS, to explore the digital services landscape and find services that address the needs of the personas developed for this tool, that represent the needs of the populations. The aim of this case study was to explore the digital services ecosystem in primary care in Zagreb from the services availability and accessibility perspective, using the personas needs tool. The total of 23 digital services was identified out of which 21 matched at least one persona need. Each service-need match was scored against usefulness and accessibility criteria and the resulting matrix was evaluated using original methods. The results point to several underperforming services and provide insight into possible improvement strategies. Several "workhorse" services were identified that are heavily dependent on the health workforce. The services adopted through EIP on AHA twinning schemes performed well against set criteria. The persona based tool, along with the original service assessment methodology based on the tool's framework provides a new perspective to the digital services landscape, useful for planning the areas for improvement and detecting underperforming services on a system level.
