Press Release: eHealth in the EU: what’s the diagnosis?

According to two surveys, published on 24 March 2014, in acute care hospitals (those intended for short-term medical or surgical treatment and care) and among General Practitioners (GPs) in Europe, the use of eHealth is starting to take off, with 60% of GPs using eHealth tools in 2013, up 50% since 2007. But much more needs to be done.
