SESSIONS » II.a eHEALTH FOR SOCIETY / Involving health professionals and patients

Good eHealth – best practices in eHealth (EC Study) Abstract

A wide variety of innovative ICT applications have been successfully implemented. They constitute a source of valuable experience and of examples of good practices.

In this session attendees learn about these successful experiences, based on the positively evaluated projects, included in the good eHealth database.

I will give an overview of the different project steps executed to realise the database and the most important success factors and barriers reported by the project owners of the 100 good eHealth cases.

As indicated below, the objective of the session is also to improve the confidence of health care executives, health care professionals, health care industry and last but not least patients in using eHealth tools and solutions.

  • Increasing the confidence of decision makers in high-level strategy development, including providing political and financial incentives for mid-term investment
  • Improving health professionals' confidence in accepting and using eHealth tools
  • Support the industry in their role as provider of ehealth solutions, meeting the needs of the users
  • Helping to demonstrate the case for the citizen in the areas of knowledge-based and citizen-centred care tools and solutions

Via this sharing of experience at the eHealth conference in Prague, the ultimate aim of the Good eHealth project is to achieve a multiplier effect, motivating others to follow suit.

The Good eHealth project is commissioned by the EU DG INSFO. The project is coordinated by Deloitte in partnership with empirica.
