eHealth for Safety - Impact of ICT on Patient Safety and Risk
Management
<http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/health/publications/
index_en.htm>
25 September 2007
eHealth, the beneficial application of ICT-based systems and
solutions, has been identified as potentially the key enabler to
fundamentally improve patient safety in clinical contexts. This is why
the European Commission launched the eHealth for Safety study at the
beginning of 2006. It will help European policy-makers, and particularly
research policy decision-makers, to understand more completely the
potential role of information and communications technology (ICT) in
making European patients' experiences more safe, sound, and secure. The
study's contribution is to enrich the comprehensiveness of our knowledge
of how ICT tools can help. More specifically, we need to know how
European research support programmes can contribute to improve patient
safety.
