Abstract
The HARMONI project addresses the growing challenges in healthcare systems caused by aging populations, complex patient needs, and workforce shortages. Funded by the Research Council of Norway, HARMONI is a transdisciplinary initiative involving Trondheim Municipality, St. Olavs Hospital, and academic partners.
At the heart of HARMONI is a suite of modelling and simulation tools, including dashboards, simulators, optimization algorithms, and a shared patient information system. These tools support tactical-level planning, capacity dimensioning, and process redesign. The project emphasizes participatory model development, drawing on stakeholder engagement and action research to ensure relevance and usability.
HARMONI integrates insights from operations and supply chain management, health services research, and change management. It aims not only to support decision-making but also to serve as a pedagogical tool for fostering systems thinking among healthcare professionals.
This presentation invites discussion on several fronts: How can modelling and simulation models be effectively validated across disciplinary boundaries? What are the best practices for integrating simulation tools into real-world healthcare planning? How can participatory modelling approaches be scaled across institutions? And how might these tools influence long-term policy and practice in integrated care?
