PRESS RELEASE
Survey takes pulse of e-Health in Europe and prescribes wider ICT use
among doctors (25 April 2008)The European Commission published on 25
April a pan-European survey on electronic services in healthcare
(eHealth) that shows 87% of European doctors (General Practitioners) use
a computer, 48% with a broadband connection. European doctors
increasingly store and send patients' data such as lab reports
electronically. In using such eHealth applications, doctors and medical
services have already improved healthcare in Europe through, for
example, more efficient administration and shorter waiting times for
patients. The report also highlights where doctors could make better use
of ICT to offer services such as telemonitoring, electronic
prescriptions and cross border medical services.
NEWS ARTICLE
Encouraging innovation-friendly procurement in eHealth (23 April 2008)An
important success factor for meeting the challenges of health and social
care in a sustainable, cost-effective way is to address these through
mid- to long-term strategic approaches that not only make use of the
latest inventions and innovations but that also help steer the
development of new solutions. This 2 page document presents the main
actions foreseen as well as the latest position of the European
Commission on the topic.
