The TO-REACH Consortium is pleased to share its draft Strategic Research Agenda (SRA). The SRA has the ambition to address the increasing challenges faced by health systems, directed to those research areas of major relevance in the coming years.
In particular, the TO-REACH SRA provides a European strategy to advance our knowledge and understanding of the adoption, implementation and potential scale-up of service and policy innovations while also addressing their translation to other settings within and across countries.
TO-REACH is also launching an online consultation on its SRA. The aim of the consultation is to gather inputs on the document from a wide range of stakeholders to move towards the development of a future EU joint research programme on health services and health systems research.
The consultation will be open until 28th June 2019 !

Digital information plays a growing role in the society, and citizens' digital health literacy is an essential element for successful eHealth deployment. Health literacy is the ability to look for, understand, appraise and apply information related to health care, prevention or health promotion.
The IC-Health project was a Horizon 2020 project aimed to develop a series of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to help improve the digital health literacy of European citizens and to advance understanding of digital health literacy and how it can be used to improve health outcomes.
The project provided a large amount of analyses and resources on digital health literacy, and Rapporteur Renate Heinisch mentioned IC-Health several times in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) own initiative opinion on Digital Health Literacy.
