Trends that call for a new programme

  population, lack of labour force, heightened
  demands and expectations from the customers
  cause significant challenges and call for
  renewals
• Renewal of the service structure and production
  models in social and healthcare services are
  necessary
• Development processes in social and healthcare
  services have been undermined by the brevity of
  the RD projects and inability of identifying and
  disseminating good practices and operation models
• New markets are emerging in the area of social
  and healthcare services, for example
• Getting customers involved and participating in
  their own care increasing customer management
  services developing the service production
  methods
• New kinds of (networked) service production
  models
• Novel wellbeing services and solutions to resolve
  heightened customer expectations
• Increase of public procurement
