Digital is the new normal for patients

Our goal: all patients will be guaranteed the

possibility to choose how they can contact

healthcare: phone, chat, video or meeting.

1. Mandatory e-services – all healthcare

providers must offer basic digital services.

2. Virtual meetings reimbursed – an online

doctor’s appointment equals a physical.

3. Digital Care Everywhere – clear decision to

fully integrate digital services in all parts of

the regional healthcare system.

Patients already expect healthcare to be online!
