Why this toolkit? To achieve the RICAHRD objectives

Full systematic review Barriers and Challenges informed development Whole System Demonstrator evidence (WSD)

UK policy 3 Million Lives campaign Most telehealth programmes fail to become mainstream Telehealth is a complex intervention Programmes fail to learn from success and pitfalls The toolkit provides a robust framework, based on Business

Process Re-engineering It provides hints and tips to maximise the chances of success Why the running analogy?

Why a telehealth toolkit ?

Launch Toolkit at Yorkshire study tour September 2012 Validate toolkit in Tuscany Region working in partnership

with Lotz Region Poland Develop teaching material in collaboration with RICAHRD

partners Seek research funding to develop second generation toolkit

for EU endorsement

Next steps for RICAHRD

Statements for debate: we seek a common ICT for Europe. •Is it possible to have all the same health ICT? •Is it possible to harmonize strategies to address the “chronic epidemic”?

And finally, I have a dream

Will it never be possible to have a single European health care system based on the ICT?
