National Solutions
One of the priorities for eHealth is to develop national solutions for specialities such as oncology, cardiothoracic and renal treatment.
National Solutions will be considered for services that are highly specialised but have relatively low volumes of patients. Particularly for services where strong national clinical governance is already in evidence and where information needs to be available for clinicians wherever they are practicing, and patients wherever they are living.
