VIGOUR

VIGOUR provides an evidence-based integrated care support programme designed to understand and guide 16 care authorities through a step-by-step process of analysis, good practice advice and training on care system capacities and approaches for strengthening and implementation at the operational, organisational and strategic levels of the stakeholders involved in different locations across Europe. In practice, care authorities are supported in focusing their care integration ambitions, preparing operationally for the implementation of good practices appropriately aligned to any prevailing local situation and finally introducing these practices to at least one per cent of the total target population in the framework of local scaling-up projects as an integral part of project plans

The project aims to effectively support care authorities in the progressive transformation of their health and care systems to provide sustainable models for integrated care that will facilitate the identification and scaling-up of good practice. This is achieved through the provision of an evidence-based integrated care support programme. The project brings together leading European academic/research institutions, governmental organisations, care authorities and non-profit groups.
