Towards a European eHealth Area
For Member States:
1) During the period 2004-2008 , Member States should support deployment of health information networks for eHealth 2) This should be based on fixed and wireless broadband and mobile infrastructures and Grid technologies 3) During that period, the goal is to achieve: - In the short-term
•
Greater access to accurate data and information for patients/citizens
• •
Safer and better healthcare Cost savings through the use of ICT solutions - In the mid-to long term
•
Re-definition of the healthcare process and access to healthcare provided with, by and through ICT systems
Towards a European eHealth Area: In 2005 1) national or regional roadmap(s) for eHealth States 2) 3) 4) a summary of European best practices on eHealth a European health portal – Member a strengthening of early warning, detection, and surveillance of health threats through enhanced ICT tools => Use of open standards and open source solutions among health administrations in Member States should be promoted.
eHealth in Europe: Opportunities Principally:
• • •
Better efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare Better quality healthcare Better access to healthcare But also undoubtedly:
• • •
A more dynamic eHealth market for Europe An opening-up of cross-border eHealth services Support for ongoing reorganisation of healthcare in Europe

• •
Need for standardisation of health information systems Legal and/or regulatory framework(s) to support eHealth use and implementation in Member States
•
Reimbursement of eHealth information systems deployment and implementation
•
Support to particular user needs, through more advanced research and technology development
•
Exploration of state-of-the-art eHealth (ICT for health) research and technology developments
Towards a European eHealth Area: In 2006 1)
a common approach to patient identifiers
2)
identify and outline interoperability standards
3)
support and boost investment in eHealth
Towards a European eHealth Area: In 2007
