At the 2014 eHealth Forum event, representatives from 22 European regions gathered in Athens (GR) for the Annual General Assembly of SmartCare, a CIP ICT-PSP project, with the objective of defining and deploying ICT-based integrated care pathways to facilitate the delivery of more efficient care to older European citizens.

As both project partner and manager of the SmartCare Committed Regions Board (CRB), AER organized within this framework a mutual-learning workshop to support regions in implementing of ICT-based integrated care services. Based on a peer review approach, the workshop encouraged participating regions to analyse their current care system characteristics and weaknesses, identify common obstacles and discuss potential solutions to improve the integration of care.
