Design and implementation of a contracting method for telemedicine activities in the Rhône-Alpes region, France

Conclusion Although 12 contracts were received compared to the estimated total of 60 telemedicine known activities and projects in the region, contracting telemedicine activities was an essential tool to support quality improvement of telemedicine activities and to ensure their integration into both national and regional health policies. The main identified weakness was the length of the administrative process. Further accomplishment is needed in the future to ensure all concerned telemedicine activities are contracted.
