ABSTRACT
Telehealth, the provision of care at a distance, is certain to be a key component in future ICT infrastructure for integrated care. It has already raised high hopes among policy-makers with regard to its potential for delivering solutions forgrowing capacity problems. For integrated care, today's segregated telehealth applications still require linking into more comprehensive eHealth strategies, in which clinical pathways and service delivery processes are fully coordinated andpatient data safely shared. Although few instances of routine application have yet emerged in Europe or elsewhere – in contrast with an enormous breadth of research activities – anincreasingly solid evidence base is emerging indicating that telehealth can be used effectively to help support better integrated care, in particular for those with long-term chronic conditions.
