RITMOCORE PPI

European PPI project RITMOCORE is currently running in Hospital de Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Hospital Universitari Bellvitge. 
The project posits a shift from hospitals purchasing devices (pacemakers) to purchasing services (maintenance and support of the technologies involved). In RITMOCORE's model, payments to providers are outcome based, and this means providers share the risks of deficiencies with the hospital -- this way their interests are aligned with those of the hospital.
By choosing the right result indicators with which to measure outcomes -- result indicators relevant to all aspects of patients' well-being --, one can reorient hospital service provision towards what is most relevant to patients.
In this channel we will be sharing clips from interviews with the architects and stakeholders of RITMOCORE, discussing aspects of RITMOCORE's implementation, future, and relevance.
