interventions or solutions that in the first case help keep people well or help them manage their conditions in their homes . That ' s the " Stay Left '' part . ``
" Shift Left is about moving patients as quickly as possible from an acute to a community to a home setting . Every time we make a digital intervention , or an innovation intervention , we ' re looking for four characteristics , sometimes called the quadruple aim : improvements in the quality of care , in quality of life , reduction in costs , and improvement in the clinician / patient experience ."
He adds that Stay Left Shift Left is a way to state the direction of HSE ' s innovation strategy . " Thankfully , we ' ve been able to mobilise the ecosystem that works with us - large multinational companies as well as smaller SMEs - to help find solutions that help us Stay Left Shift Left ."
HSE ' s digital transformation journey started in early 2019 , and Curley explains
“We propose a healthcare system that is mainly home and communitybased , is proactive , predictive , mobile and cloud-enabled , as well as opensource where possible ”
