Reimbursement Model in UK
Home telehealth for older people and others with chronic conditions is beginning to take off in the UK, even if such services are currently only available in some localities and are typically tied to specific hospital services (trusts) and medical conditions. As an example, Northern Ireland’s Department of Health and Social Services is getting set to issue a tender for the supply of telehealth services to cover 5,000 people by 2011. Northern Ireland will invest £46m in telemedicine services to support chronic disease management. For home telehealth services, to the extent that they have been mainstreamed in principle at least, services are free to the end-user under the National Health Service.
