The innovation of the project lies first of all in the fact that the entire system created (job references, competences, training, training content) does not yet exist in Romania and Greece, nor does it exist in the exhaustive form planned by the project in France. Moreover, the project allows the acquisition of new general skills, necessary for the exercise of all professions in the medical sector. Indeed, the understanding of the interactions between the different health professions is necessary to achieve a global management of the quality of care and health risks.

​

Innovation also lies in a global approach that breaks down barriers in the medical sector for the design and implementation of new training products expected by professionals in the field and in compliance with the EQF and the Bologna process. Training engineering will be mobilised to operationalise the actions necessary to achieve the objectives set in the EU for the quality of medical services. It will be put at the service of the development of quality and risk management in health care, which is in the process of being operationalised to a greater or lesser extent in the countries of the European Union. The project will provide an opportunity to bring together administrations, prescribers, medical companies, professional training organisations, universities and social partners involved in this field of investigation. It will encourage the construction of a training offer that will decompartmentalise the medical sector professions, based on a classification of training needs by field impacted by the management of the quality of care and health risks (GQSRS).

​

This new offer will be built according to the competency-based approach, based on the new activities that MQCHR induces in the professions of the medical sector and the competencies required to carry out these activities. To our knowledge, there is not yet in Europe a complete modular system covering in a transversal way all the training needs of professionals in the medical sector impacted by the management of the quality of care and health risks and accessible in ODL from digital educational resources. There is also no certification positioned in the EQF in short cycle and in accordance with the Bologna process of QUALITICIAN for the management of the quality of care and risks in health. These two innovative systems will also contribute effectively to the securing of career paths, which the social partners involved in the project will ensure. This engineering project, with its modular approach, allows a more efficient specialisation of professionals on their specific practices.

​

On the other hand, this new training offer provides for the acquisition of new skills, necessary for the exercise of professions in the medical sector. The QUALITICIAN for quality and risk management in health care will be involved in the following areas Quality, Risk management and health care safety (emerging concepts), Strategies of medical establishments, Methods of management and communication of a project, improvement of quality and safety of care, Methods of management of quality and safety of care, Methods for the involvement of patients and their families in the quality and safety of care, qualitative analysis methods, methods for the evaluation of performance in health care, methods for the analysis of processes and care paths, accreditation and certification, evaluation of professional practices, vigilance and risk management, new fields of evaluation. It is planned to create a short modular cycle associated with a certification to better secure professional careers. This certification will be situated on an intermediate level between level IV and level VI of the EQF.

​

The innovative aspect of this project also lies in the proposed teaching methods. The design of the teaching resources will be compatible for a large part (more than 25%) with the Open Distance Learning (ODL) modality. It is planned to work on digital teaching resources with the use of several media, which allows greater interactivity between learners and teachers as well as the use of new technological supports (such as tablets, smartphones). The opening up to ODL facilitates the personalisation of courses, as well as access to training for people who are still in work.

​

Finally, this project contributes to the rapprochement of the education and vocational training systems of the 3 countries. It targets a new type of job, free of national specificities, whose key competences will be defined. This is what underlies the very idea of European certification.
