Abstract

Integrated regional networks provide an infrastructure for the deployment of accountable, accessible and secure teleconsultation services. In addition, the use of clinical protocols, combined with the automated retrieval of relevant health data, can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of teleconsultation sessions. In the context of HYGEIAnet, the regional health telematics network of Crete, integrated teleconsultation services based on clinical protocols are being developed to support the remote screening of patients with suspected heart problems, aiming not only to benefit the patient but also to contribute to the optimum use of health care resources
