EFA

The Telehealth Campaign, an initiative of several patient, hospital and health industry stakeholders (including the European Patients' Forum, of which EFA is a member) is calling for submissions of successful Telehealth stories to be part of “Real Telehealth Stories”, a brochure to be distributed to the EU institutions, national and regional policymakers, patients, healthcare professionals, managers and industry representatives. 'Telehealth' means the delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies. It can be something as simple as health discussions held over the phone, or the use of more advanced technology to communicate health information. Stories that place emphasis on the human aspect of telehealth, describe how integrated care is being realised and provide evidence of how benefits are being achieved will be favoured in the selection procedure. The final date for submissions is May 31st 2011. More information and contact details
