eHealth priorities and strategies in European countries. eHealth ERA report, March 2007. Towards the Establishment of a European eHealth Research Area

All European countries undertake great efforts to improve access, quality and efficiency of their health services through innovative information technology-based solutions. And together they move towards a common eHealth agenda in Europe. This is the key message of a newly published European Commission report entitled “eHealth priorities and strategies in European countries”. It provides eHealth fact sheets on national activities not only for the 27 EU Member States but also five other European countries. It is an important milestone in the development of eHealth in the European Union.
