The conditions imposed by the pandemic and the global care crisis that followed opened up new horizons for both patients and healthcare professionals when it comes to the most appropriate place of care for patients. The pandemic has demonstrated the high potential of remote monitoring and caring of patients when conditions do not allow their physical presence but it also an aspect to be considered and evaluated on a routine basis.

We therefore need to be initiating a wider transformation at an organizational level to allow the structuring and financing of these new models of care towards a more resilient health delivering system. The development and implementation of new care protocols and the appropriate increase in the digital literacy of those involved in the care along with other sustainable measures are the way forward.
