Innovations as well as best practice transfer are needed in the near future. Šarūnas Tarasevičius from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences has analysed and compiled the latest trends in the surgical treatment methods of proximal femur fractures. Read our Innovation Report No. 1
At the 11th October 2018, the Life Science Open Space conference opened its doors in Krakow, Poland. As part of the event, the Transnational Forum of the BFCC project was held. Kazimierz Murzyn from the conference organiser Klaster LifeScience Kraków and Peter Frank from ScanBalt introduced the “innovative hospital”.
University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein and Stryker Trauma GmbH laid ground for addressing the new EU Medical Device Regulations (MDR) and, thus, for future hospital-industry research and innovation (R&I) collaboration by defining an implant related data set.
At the 6th and 7th September 2018, the BFCC project partners held a joint project meeting in Tartu, Estonia. During these two days, several progresses could be reported: The pilot studies proceed successfully as well as the innovation dialogue events.
After the summer break, the BFCC project continues its workshops with the purpose to understand how to meet the requirements of relevant stakeholders from health care, health policy and industry.
Post-surgery complications within fracture treatment are a focus of the BFCC project. Within its fracture registry there is also the documentation of those complications. The project partners have developed a "Core Event Set" for this purpose.
The Lithuania University of Health Science had submitted an abstract about the BFCC pilot on infections at the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS).
The project partners from the University Medicine Greifswald have created a video that explains step by step how hospitals can register with the Transnational Fracture Registry Platform to participate and enter patient data.
What is the future of bone healing? Which innovative processes are currently being developed? How to meet challenges as osteoporosis, implant related infections and non-unions? At the BONE INNOVATION SUMMIT, clinicians, scientists and industry discuss answers to these questions.
At the last project meeting on April 17-18, 2018 in Krakow, Poland, the project consortium presented the major steps that were taken by the BFCC partners to further engage in fostering knowledge exchange and capacity building among involved hospitals and companies.
The BFCC organises various workshops for relevant groups within the healthcare and the industrial sector. Three workshops were held in March 2018 in Kaunas, Lithuania; Gothenburg, Sweden, and Seinäjoki, Finland.
The Fracture Fragility Network Congress (FFN) has become a unique bridge-builder between the different health care professions surrounding patients with fractures.
‘Pulse-echo ultrasound method for detection of post-menopausal women with osteoporotic BMD’ – this is the title of a recently published international study.
BFCC involves companies to identify the needs and potentials for innovation within fracture management. BSN medical, Germany, has agreed to give input as a medical device producer for nonsurgical treatment methods.
‘Motivating large numbers of clinicians embarking on an ambitious project as BFCC sometimes raises suspicions: “Is Big Brother watching us? Or are far-off academics just harvesting our data for their own obscure purposes?”’ says Dr Colin Currie from the University of Edinburgh.
On January, 10-11 the partners of the BFCC project will come together for a project meeting in Hamburg, Germany to catch up on the latest activities within the different work packages and to discuss their further proceeding. For the first time also the members of the Project Advisory Board (PAB) will join. The PAB consists of experts aiming to give impulses and advices to the project from a stakeholder’s point of view in order to contribute to the project’s strategic development. The conclusions and outcomes of the PAB meeting will be taken adequately into consideration in the decision making process during the BFCC project to maximise the impact of the project results.
