The two projects celebrating 7 successful years of Nordic collaboration, mark the journey to an end of a new beginning for integrated Healthcare and Care with distance spanning technology support. Eliminating distance as a hinder for high quality healthcare with a focus on remote and rural citizens.
Session 2: Demonstrating model areas for integrated Healthcare and Care with support of distance spanning solutions
Panel discussion – with stakeholders and actors who has transformed their service provision toward integrated Healthcare and Care supported by distance spanning technology.
We will delve into the core elements essential for establishing integrated healthcare and care services, with a special emphasis on catering to the needs of citizens residing in remote and rural areas. During this session, we will provide a platform for healthcare and care providers who have successfully implemented such integrated systems to share their insights and experiences.
By giving the floor to healthcare and care providers who have firsthand experience in implementing integrated services, we hope to inspire and inform others in remote and rural areas to go on a journey to a new beginning.
