Healthcare Innovation Transfer

Healthcare Innovation Transfer (HIT) has dutch and north-american Healthcare organizations, academic institutes and the dutch government partners as members. What is the purpose of HIT? Global Healthcare systems are under stress. Demand for services is growing at historic rates: unhealthy lifestyles continue to increase the risk and cost of disease, oncological diseases are shifting from deadly to more chronic, chronic conditions in general are more prevalent as peoples life expectancy increases across all demographics, and advances in medical technologies further defer mortality. The mission of Healthcare Innovation Transfer is to leverage the excellence of two global leaders to transform the process and to reduce the cost of Healthcare and wellbeing. A synergy will form when the dutch Healthcare experience and integrated care approaches merge with the United States technological and operational Innovation and entrepreneurship.
