HOP’EN 2, a funding programme run by the Digital Health Directorate aiming to support digital transformation of healthcare establishments in France, has opened its first applications phase, with health establishments invited to apply to achieve the programme’s objectives.
The programme is built around four key objectives, including improving service access through use of digital tools such as My Health Space – a public service launched in 2022, allowing patients to store and share documents and health data in a digital directory. Other objectives are to support projects with the potential to simplify business processes to save caregiver time; to support digital transformation within healthcare organisations to assist business and support services; and to encourage the pooling of technical resources and application convergence.
A number of actions are set out for hospitals to achieve, including specific reports to be shared through My Health Space and functionalities to be put in place such as the ability to exchange messages with patients through the platform’s messaging systems.
The closing date for applications is 4 October 2024; more information can be found here, along with information on upcoming webinars designed to provide more information on the programme and its funding opportunities.
