Investments to integrate O’CareCloudS (OCCS), based on expert estimations within OCCS and sector averages.

Description of investment	Value	Unit

Every care provider needs a mobile telecommunication subscription. (There exist special group tariffs for care organization, that is why this annual expense is initially modeled rather low) [OpEx]	40	€/year per care provider
Each care provider needs to have access to OCCS. An annual subscription cost is modeled per care provider. [OpEx]	20	€/year per care provider
Each care provider needs to be educated to understand the functionalities of the SCP (2 h of education) [CapEx]	31	€/care provider
The SCP needs to be integrated into the back-end systems (1 FTE during 3 months) [CapEx]	14,700	€
An annual operational cost which is modeled as a percentage of the integration cost is needed to keep the SCP up and running [OpEx]	5%
