FLASH featured by CORDIS for its work on flexible health financing

CORDIS, the European Commission’s research and innovation news service, has published an article on the FLASH project’s work on building more flexible and resilient health financing systems in Europe.

The article highlights three dimensions of flexibility the project investigates: the ability of hospital systems to absorb sudden shocks such as COVID-19, the legal and economic barriers to cross-border patient mobility, and the extent to which regional funding allocation keeps pace with local health needs. It also references a related study on the uneven uptake of Catalonia’s digital health platform, MyHealth, underlining that digitalisation alone does not guarantee equity in access to care.
