ROUND TABLE PARTICIPANTS AGREE FULLY INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE SERVICES ARE KEY IF TELEHEALTH IS TO BE SUCCESSFULLY ROLLED OUT AT SCALE
Participants at a Future Trends Round Table chaired by Dr Michael Dixon OBE at The King’s Fund on Thursday December 8, 2011, agreed that telehealth could only deliver benefits if it is implemented as part of fully integrated heatlhcare services involving social care, primary care, secondary care and self care by patients. The Round Table was organised by Salix Consulting and new service provider, Appello Telehealth, to coincide with the publication of the Department of Health’s (DH) Whole Systems Demonstrator (WSD) Programme and the Government’s announcement on December 5, 2011 of its 3 Million Lives (3ML) campaign.
