The benefits of a fully-digitalised public healthcare system are significant. Digital health is an essential tool in order to improve efficiency, provide coordinated care, and make real health improvements. However, the National Health Service (NHS) has yet to provide a fully digitalised system to patients and providers despite technological advances in recent years. This chapter will thus describe the progress which has already been made in providing remote health services within the NHS. It will also explore problems arising from digitalising health services and the management of health both within the institution and through more informal networks beyond the NHS.

The health sector has been slow to adopt and integrate new technological advances into antiquated workflows and processes. The onset of smart health applications and devices has initiated a push for healthcare systems as well as physicians to incorporate and utilize such technology and the big data it collects. However, without considering the challenges experienced in large-scale trials, physicians and their clinics will run into similar barriers to implementation and uptake. Thoughtful implementation and preparation will make the use of such technological advances possible, palatable and effective in improving clinical care.

Universal Health

All EU nationals have the right to health services that are affordable for everyone under the same conditions. Sector-specific regulations provide that health services are services of general interest that must be implemented through a national legal framework. The state must design the universal health services in a way that respects the principle of public health service affordability for all citizens. In the study, we focused on understanding the legal framework which serves as foundation the regulating universal health services in Slovenia, sector-specific regulations and other acts, and tried to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Slovenian legal framework. Our efforts have been directed towards studying the legislative framework of the European Union and defining the legal guidelines that establish the legal framework for universal health service creation.

For optimum Peripheral Health Service and implementation of various Vertical Public Health Programme Services, network of public Rural and Urban Health Centers with trained Specialists in General Practice (GP) is essential. Later such Specialist GPs will thus fulfill both comprehensive training and experience required for Health Management and Planning Service in the centre.  About 40%-50% of all Residential Trainings and Specialists are required in GP. There are further up to 100 to 150 possible specialties in which remaining doctors can be trained for Specialty Health Services. Though free Residential Training has numerous advantages, its shortage inside country is the bottleneck to provide above mentioned Health Services. Planning for health service delivery by at least trainee residents under supervision or appropriately trained specialists guides Residential Training’s regulations. Fulfillment of objective training criteria as its core focus is the concept now with the major role of Faculty as supervising residents to provide required service in the specialty and simultaneously updating themselves and their team for Evidence-Based Medicine practice. Similarly the need of Ambulatory Health Service and joint management of in-patients by specialists in hospitals has changed unit and bed divisions and requirements for Residential Training. Residents, already the licensed doctors, are thus providing required hospital service as indispensable part of its functional hierarchy for which they need to be paid. With such changing concepts and trends, there are some essential points in existing situation to facilitate free Residential Training inside country. For Government doctors, relevant amendment in their regulation is accordingly required.

BACKGROUND Technology is nowadays omnipresent. Using New Information and Communications Technologies in the health sector is promising and intended to be beneficial, both for patient disease prevention and care. The Lab e-Santé, a French think tank, aims to further advance knowledge of the use and practices of digital health tools, identify obstacles in their use, and issue recommendations. OBJECTIVE The Lab e-Santé conducted an exploratory study in order to get preliminary data regarding the appropriation, satisfaction and global use in real life of health applications and connected objects. This initial survey would allow to explore, within MHCs (Multidisciplinary health centers), the usability and the perceived contribution of the tools from both HCPs and patients’ viewpoints and provide preliminary inputs regarding the barriers and the drivers of connected health. METHODS The Lab e-santé recruited a total of 10 facilities from the exhaustive database of French MHCs. HCPs from those MHC were provided with iPads on which the m-health application was installed. They were also provided with three types of connected devices: weighting scales, blood pressure monitors and activity trackers. VirtualSanté and VirtualSanté Pro applications were especially developed for the survey. VirtualSanté allowed to compile all the patient’s data collected from a connected health device, and share these data with the health professional in their dedicated professional application, VirtualSanté Pro. During a 5-month period, participating health professionals were instructed to include patients with chronic diseases, aged 18 years and above, who agreed to participate. RESULTS This exploratory study addressed the perceived contribution and usability of health technologies from both patients and their HCPs. Our findings as described below suggest that there is a dichotomy between HCPs and patients’ perception about connected health usefulness. HCPs are more confident in a potential contribution of connected health for their patients than the patients themselves. Patients didn’t express any benefit 6 months later and the device became a source of anxiety for some of them. One possible explanation may be the multiple technical issues users faced during the survey including the installation of the applications on non-compatible devices, the initial connection between the object and the application or technical bugs during use. For the same reasons, HCPs found it time-consuming and difficult to integrate in their everyday practice. CONCLUSIONS Today many people are optimistic about the concept of mHealth. However, to use these devices and have high acceptance, both HCPs and patients need to be aware of the existence and usefulness of applications and connected objects then trust them. Tools should be personalized and adaptive, as far as possible, or at least be adapted to the good user profile. The latter should be motivated, properly trained, educated and supported for assuring an appropriate, useful and sustainable use.

In their pedagogical projects, health management courses focus on multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, comprehensiveness and transversality, whose main merit is to question health issues from different theoretical perspectives. Analyzing these issues under many perspectives does not necessarily mean the development of transversal competences. The development and application of these competences suppose going beyond integrating curricular contents and theory/practice. They depend on how the knowledge will be articulated to changes at organizational, sectorial and institutional levels and on the coevolution between these competences and changes. It is understood that health services manager role is effectively transversal when he/she: (i) acts at organizational boundaries, fostering interaction between organizations and other actors in the system; (ii) provides (and receives) feedback to (and from) these actors; and (iii) these feedbacks help decision makers to undertake organizational changes to respond to the environment and shape it.
