The key objectives of the RAPIDE project are:
- To develop tools for forecasting health care needs in the event of crises.
- Identify ways to redirect health care in the event of system overload.
- Develop ways to ensure access to planned care even in crisis situations.
- The RAPIDE project will contribute to improving the resilience of health systems in Europe to cross-border health crises through its results.
Participation in the RAPIDE project is a good opportunity for the Ljubljana Health Centre to learn about the latest research and tools in the field of cross-border health crisis management. The project will contribute to improving the preparedness of the Ljubljana Health Centre for crises and to improving healthcare for the Slovenian population. I am participating in the project as a project manager for the Ljubljana Health Centre.
