The project evaluates insofar as possible all current solutions resulting from civil and military research on computerized decision-making on the topic of crisis management and, more specifically, major health crises with the aim of establishing pathways towards early alerts and improved management of large scale health-related crises through effective and automated risk prediction, assessment and management.
The results of the project will add to the decision-making potential of the unit of information collection on health crises (Emergency Operations Facility of the Directorate General of Health and Consumer Protection), which brings together a range of computerized tools for the collection and transmission of information (H.E.O.F).
The project is driven by a consortium composed of high-level representatives of HealthCare Ministries of EU countries and Associated States (Israel). The partners and the experts associated with the Support Action GAP represent both of the complementary poles of excellence for the successful execution of this mission.
The GAP project lasts 12 months and it focuses on the area of "Patient safety and risk assessment" of the challenge 5 of the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) - Information and Communication Technologies.
The methodology to achieve these objectives is based on the following three main pillars:
- Collection and preparation of a map of current risk prediction tools in each participating countries
- Definition of a predictive model
- Roadmap for future common policies
