ALIAS: Alpine Hospital Networking for Improved Access to Telemedicine Services
Résumé
The ALIAS project addresses medical services and infor-mation inadequacy to ensure health care provisions in the Alpine Space where telemedicine services are not widely ex-ploited. Alpine space touristic vocation during some periods of the year makes its healthcare structures "periodically" inadequate to face a widened request of services supply. On the other hand, a major receptivity of those structures during the rest of the year is unnecessary due to the low density of Alpine space local residents. ALIAS is aimed at linking to-gether a number of Alpine space hospitals enabling the crea-tion of a Network shaping the ALIAS Virtual Hospital for sharing medical information, adopting telemedicine service and exchanging best clinical practices, to improve the effi-ciency of hospitals in that area.
