Abstract

The care organisations Pennemes and Mennistenerf are located in the same neighbourhood and have a strong social neighbourhood function with two nursing homes, home care, rehabilitation following hospital admission, day-care and a neighbourhood restaurant. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 these organisations are also exploring the use of eHealth so that they can also realise their care and neighbourhood function in the 1.5 metre society. Together with the Louis Bolk Institute, they want to explore the demand for implementing eHealth and evaluate the implementation process.
