• make more use of open source solutions and open standards

• more and faster experimentation with emerging ICT within the public administration

• modernise the design of public services, procurement and contracting arrangements

• widen and deepen the use of data and analytics

Tallinn MinisterialDeclaration

on eGovernment

• enabling users to digitally interact with public administrations;

• making these services easy to understand;

• requesting citizens and businesses only once the same information, respecting data protection and privacy;

• engaging citizens in the creation of public services

Tallinn DeclarationUser-centricity principles

With these principles Member States commit to:

• Almost 95 000 local and regional authorities in the EU

• Cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation

The challenge• Ageing population increasing demand-side pressures on

EU public health & social care providers as well as long-term sustainability of existing models for delivering care services.

• Limited large-scale, cross-border deployment of digital health and care solutions & innovation.

• Lack of collaborative efforts (engaging demand & supply) in public purchasing of innovative ICT-based solutions for active and healthy ageing.

• Not effective aggregation of demand, cost reduction, risk sharing.

SC1-DTH-05- 2019: The Call

The ambitionScope• Specify, purchase and deploy ICT based solutions for active and

healthy ageing in the health and care field.• Target large-scale deployment of digital health and care solutions

across different regions in Europe.• Contribute to the Scaling-Up Strategy of EIP AHA and Reference Sites.• Engage public and/or private procurers that have responsibilities and

budget control in the relevant area of care or supply of services.
