Enabling Integrated Care:
Procuring personal health systems
Belfast, 17 June 2010
The workshop identified best practice and lessons learned in procuring interoperable personal health systems / telehealth solutions by public, private and third party procurers. It drew on the experience of healthcare providers as well as vendors which have been involved in small and large-scale procurement of personal health solutions.
The event featured presentations on experiences and lessons from the procurers' point of view, and an overview on interoperability standards. It concentrated on interactive discussions to highlight experiences with issues such as framework contracts, negotiated procedures, standards compliance, competition, EU Public Procurement Directives, etc.
