A strong innovation hub needs more than a good service catalogue. It needs a reliable process that helps users understand what support they need, how they can access it, and how progress will be monitored.<\/p>

AI4Health.Cro developed user onboarding guidelines during the first two quarters of the project. These guidelines became a practical framework for initiating user engagement and operationalising the portfolio of services provided by consortium partners. Their purpose was to support the digital transformation of users while strengthening collaboration and networking within the EDIH ecosystem.<\/p>

Users are recruited through several channels. Organisations can express interest through the project website, where they provide basic information about their organisation, preferred service group and needs. Users also come through the professional networks of consortium partners, LinkedIn and direct recommendations. According to internal statistics cited in the Project Summary, the professional network was the most successful recruitment channel, with 29 users, followed by the project website form with more than 20 applicants.<\/p>

The onboarding process is built around two key meetings. The initial meeting helps the consortium understand the user\u2019s needs and maturity level, while introducing the user to the EDIH, the service catalogue, the Digital Maturity Assessment and administrative requirements. After internal consultations, the onboarding meeting finalises the service package, documents and action plan.<\/p>

To ensure transparency, AI4Health.Cro also developed internal tools, including a dedicated user mailing list and a Users section within the Toolbox platform. This allows the project team to track contact history, selected services, providers, timelines and other operational information.<\/p>

By February 2026, 59 users had accessed or were using EDIH consortium services, including 40 SMEs and 19 public sector organisations. The Digital Maturity Assessment at T0 had been completed by 43 users, and 27 users had completed the T1 assessment. The average increase between T0 and T1 for all users was 11 percentage points.<\/p>

For an EDIH working in healthcare, this structured onboarding process is a best practice because it turns a complex support offer into a clear user journey. It also provides measurable evidence of progress, which is essential for project monitoring, reporting and long-term impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
