MAYNOOTH UNIVERSITY
“ It ’ s going to transform education and healthcare and we ’ re still at the beginning . As Hans Vestberg said : “ The pace of change is never going to be this slow again ”, which is really exciting .”
Open Plan IT : Scaling the transformation roadmap Maynooth University ’ s approach to patient engagement follows a structured progression from engagement to enablement , education , empowerment and excellence . According to Martin , this methodology – termed the Patient Capability Maturity Framework
– co-developed with Richard Wyatt Haines of HCI , represents a shift from traditional doctor-centric models to patient-led healthcare .
Collaboration and trust are integral to this research . “ We work closely with some of my ex-colleagues from HSE as well . The ability to collaborate from the outside is really attractive ,” Martin shares . “ We have more freedom to orchestrate such an ecosystem and we can innovate a lot quicker as a result .”
As part of this approach , the university is also partnered with Open Plan IT , a UK-based social enterprise that specialises in open-source healthcare
