The possibility of creating social and health services in telemedicine, able to provide health services to citizens, is a reality.
Local health units and hospitals, regional and local administrations, but also organizations and other bodies, can resort to the support and consulting activities of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS, the National Institute of Health in Italy) for the design and implementation of new telemedicine services, or for the updating of existing services, according to scientifically accredited models.
Thus, the ISS, in addition to concretely supporting the development of real services, contributes to the definition and continuous updating of knowledge in support of system governance actions.
