Description
The project aims to equalize access to and improve healthcare in Poland through telemedicine and e-health, focusing on the poorest groups and remote areas. Seven models and standards of telemedicine procedures (including in cardiology, geriatrics, psychiatry (including mental health), obstetrics, diabetology, palliative care and chronic diseases) will be developed. The chosen models will be tested as pilot projects by supra-regional hospitals and institutes, chosen in the open call. The pilots will then be evaluated by an independent entity to identify successful ones to be financed from public sources in the future.
The project will deliver analysis, technical assistance, training and awareness-raising including, inter alia, the following activities:
- Analyses and reports on the possibilities of adapting the Norwegian experience to the Polish ground and developing models of telemedicine solutions to be tested under the projects in the open call
- IT-training for doctors in the most deprived areas, including on software specific for telemedicine and e-health, and e-training on mental health
- Nationwide awareness raising campaign on telemedicine and mental health, prophylaxis and vaccinations
- Webinars for patients with specialists dedicated to prophylaxis and treatment of certain diseases
- Conference summing up the results of implementation of pilot/model projects
- Dissemination workshops on telemedicine and e-health pilot/model projects
- Evaluation of the telemedicine models and their application
- Information and promotion materials, including materials for the promoters of the projects implemented under the open call
