In this new episode of the TIQUE interview series, we speak with @Andreas Lundqvist, Head of Unit at Region Västerbotten's Swedish Centre for Rural Health, describes one of the less visible outcomes of TIQUE: a shift in how the hospital understood its own patients.

As the project reaches its conclusion, Andreas shares a comprehensive reflection from a healthcare management perspective on what TIQUE has represented for his organization — from initial expectations to long-term impact. In this interview, we explore:

- Region Västerbotten’s overall experience participating in TIQUE

- Lessons learned from completing a full Pre-Commercial Procurement process

- The value and challenges of innovation-driven procurement

- Organizational learning and cross-regional collaboration
