Patients' Briefcase are simple and easy for the patient to use and it will bee Stavanger University Hospital itself, which will be responsible for installing the patient Briefcase in the patient's home.
When the patient Briefcase is installed in the home, the health professional personnel from Stavanger University Hospital can, by video links, guide and communicate with patients via both video screen and microphone.
The agreement between Medisat A/S and Stavanger University Hospital is running from May 1st. 2010 and one year forward.
The management of Stavanger University Hospital expects the project to contribute to a better utilization of resources. Including an economic benefit, since this group of patients will require fewer and shorter hospitalizations.
