Important KPIs here is to increase number of projects within EIT Health who collaborate with healthcare, who are internalized into clinical practice on a broad term and show both improved quality and reduced costs within healthcare. Furthermore new knowledge, improved working routines within sample holders, biobanks and registers are also within the scope of targeted goals.
