Knowledge and competences, working methods, processes and methods developed within the framework of Västerbotten´s project "innovation clinics" will be scaled up for a broader context, with a focus on prioritized areas of need within cutting-edge care. Innovation work will take place in alternating processes and at different levels at the same time - both internally within the region and externally with partners.
