The ALIAS workshop has took place at INSA de Lyon on 26th January 2011. The event, in addition to the project early results and outlook, has targeted a number of subjects related to the eHealth policies and strategies at national and regional level addressing electronic health record and telemedicine with the aim of explicitly demonstrate by one hand the coherence of ALIAS approach and objectives with the current plans in the countries involved in the project and by the other to understand to what extent ALIAS main output, the CENTRAL SERVICES PLATFORM, could be exploited or integrated in the relevant national/regional running projects.
The Regional Ministries of Rhône-Alpes, Lombardia and Carinthia have reinforced the political commitment through the project activities and development pointing out the consistence of the ALIAS approach with the current eHealth strategies and plans of their Regions. Furthermore, some local and regional experiences carried out in the Alpine Space (Haute Savoy, Region Lémanique, Lower Bavaria) have demonstrated the possibility to be enriched of the ALIAS platform supplied services are presented as concrete use cases.
Other experiences carried out at European level under EU co-funded framework programmes (epSOS, Competitive health, AlpsBioCluster) in the cross-border healthcare services domain have been proposed for consideration calling for a strategic view of the theme and a more effective and synergic coordination amongst them. Presentations performed during the workshop are here available.

Over the past two years, regional authorities, competence centers and hospitals participating in the ALIAS project together with the support of the Alpine Space Programme have created conditions of legal, organizational and technical testing of cross border telemedicine based services: teleconsulting and clinical information provision. The ALIAS consortium presented the results achieved so far by the project and launched its pilot operationon the 27th October 2011 in Varese(Italy) at AO Macchi Hospital.
Introduced by Walter Bergamaschi, General Director of the Hospital, the workshop addressed the most recent developments in the telemedicine domain at European level bringing up the experience of the Geneva University Hospital and RegioneLombardia.
The specific involvement of Varese Hospital, as node of the ALIAS network, and its integration in the Virtual Hospital Network has been pointed out in the light of the cooperation established both at project and at regional level with the government and the regional healthcare system as a whole. Lombardy regional Minister Luciano Bresciani concluded the session recalling the strategic importance of the transnational cooperation and eHealth as enabler of crossborder healthcare in the perspective of continuity of care.

The ALIAS project has organised a round table under the framework of the Alps Bio Cluster Catalyst Event on the subject of "ICT & Care : toward personalized services" held on 7-8 July, 2010 – Grenoble, France. The Alps Bio Cluster project is aimed at establishing a transnational cluster network in the biotech and medtech sector by involving subjects from six Alpine regions in research, training and industry, especially small and medium-sized companies, in order to boost joint economic development by reaching a critical mass of key players.
The ALIAS plenary round table (7 July) "How to deliver a better medical service to European citizens?" has focused, as a priority, on ensuring continuity of care to European citizens in a cross-border environment through the delivery of an ICT-based healthcare services and tools such as the Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) and telemedicine. Specific achievements resulting from the collaboration between Regione Lombardia and Région Rhône-Alpes have been also presented together with another experience on telemedicine, namely the Care-Ring case in Austria.
