At the High level eHealth conference organised by the Latvian Ministry of Health and the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, COCIR launched the 5th edition of its eHealth Toolkit, focusing on Integrated Care and on how ICT technologies and procurement possibilities can facilitate it.

Two dedicated sections of this toolkit concentrate on Managed Services and Cloud Computing, and on how public authorities, decision makers and users can capture the value of supporting IT concepts which will help make Integrated Care a reality.

Another section focuses on innovations in public procurement that make it easier to acquire solutions that change healthcare processes and are hence more adapted to acquiring ehealth solutions enabling Integrated Care. As in these solutions interoperability is more important than ever an additional section is included and provides updates in this domain.

We will follow-up on updates which were shared at the eHealth week on regulatory and legal trends which could potentially affect the delivery and operation of integrated care and will keep you informed via a dedicated section to come.
