Sotiria Hospital e-Health Unit - Inclusive Public Services
Ensuring that ICT-based services have been planned and delivered to be more inclusive for citizens and customers, responding to their priorities and needs both at the outset and from feedback as the service delivery is developed.
e-Health Unit at Sotiria Hospital has incorporated the use of ICT into clinical practice to develop home and community-based, health and social integrated care and chronic care management. Communications used by patients or carers at the e-Health Unit include TV, real time video and stationary or mobile, wearable devices, all which significantly improve the quality of life for elderly and disadvantaged patients. Using these technologies also results in saving admissions and days spent in hospital and can be particularly important for patients living on remote islands in the Aegean Sea; offering monitoring and support when physical access to the hospital is impossible due to bad weather conditions.
