Alpine Hospitals Networking for Improved Access to Telemedicine Services (ALIAS)
Start date: Jul 31, 2009, End date: Jul 30, 2012 PROJECT FINISHED

ALIAS project addresses medical services and information inadequacy to ensure Health Care (HC) provisions in Alpine Space (AS) where telemedicine services are not widely exploited and linguistic barriers represent an obstacle. AS touristic vocation during some periods of the year makes its HC 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 AS local residents. ALIAS addresses the priority aimed at securing fair access to HC public services and related communication infrastructure within the programming area. The project is aimed at linking together a number of AS hospitals enabling the creation of a Network shaping the ALIAS Virtual Hospital (VH) for sharing medical information, adopting telemedicine service and exchanging best clinical practices, to improve the efficiency of hospitals in that area. Achievements: The last period has been of great importance for the ALIAS testing phase preparation. In this framework, the main result achieved has been the lively participation of pilot hospitals in all ALIAS activities. In particular, during the “alpha test” period, all doctors involved have suggested appropriate enhancement of the ALIAS platform and services. There has also been a full engagement in the Second Opinion database feeding. ALIAS operational procedures have foreseen the planning of the training courses and preparation of training materials, finalization of common template for patient informed consent form and translation in all ALIAS languages of all the ALIAS Central System menus, patient recruitment strategy definition and agreement on the support materials to be used within each pilot hospitals (ALIAS poster, cards and leaflet). Two Project Steering Groups meetings and Technical Meetings have been held in Lasko (14.04.2011) and Izola (7-8.07.2011).http://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/running-projects/?tx_txrunningprojects_pi1[uid]=26&tx_txrunningprojects_pi1[view]=singleView#project_outputs
