23. Q& A Session

24. Q& A Session
Issue 1: Connected Health – a fragmented market
Answers:
• To do with standards ‐ there isn’t an awareness to have standards.
• There is a push pull situation.
• Ask a doctor to describe a hospital – they’ll say how many beds it
has inside; “how many people I can get in, not how many people I
can help out there”.
• Connected health will most likely be a private market, at least in the
short term
• Difficult to get people to talk to each other – standards are so wide
© DOLMEN 2010

25. Q& A Session
Issue 2: Who’s going to pay for health technology assessments?
Answers:
• Primary and secondary markets coming together but flow of data
must be managed (there are standards that are being driven)
• A way to get in – through pharmaceutical funding.
• To do with where is the value for money and who needs the
services? We need a deeper look into what’s going on out there –
political will and strength to do it

26. Q& A Session
Issue 3: Socialised Medicine
The state has taken over ‐ why don’t they give that back to where it
belongs? People want to keep older people healthier for longer in
their own environments
Answers:
• A financial decision needs to be made at a point in time, and this
must be balanced against a bigger financial decision. There is a cost
to all of this – people have to take that into account
© DOLMEN 2010

27. Q& A Session
Issue 4: EI and HSE Spending
Lots of money has been invested in connected health, telehealth. With
the HSE spending millions in this area, can’t EI encourage the HSE to
spend money differently to allow connected health be a test bed in
Ireland?
Answers:
• There is huge resistance – the “not invented here” problem
• Need to try to get government bodies in general to spend money.
There are lots of politics but things are beginning to move
• Could learn from other countries e.g. Germany – law that doctors
must submit invoices electronically, otherwise they don’t get paid.
These hard measures worked.
