eHealth 2003 Conference: ICT for health
22 May 2003 - 22 May 2003
The European Commission, in collaboration with the Greek Presidency of the EU, is organising a high-level conference on e-health, to take place on 22 and 23 May in Brussels.
The event is aimed at European health ministers and senior representatives of stakeholder groups such as professional and user organisations. 33 leading e-healthcare applications have also been selected for exhibition at the conference, based on a call for proposals.
The best demonstrations at the conference will receive the first eEurope Awards in e-health.
The two key objectives of the conference are to reinforce the implementation and deployment of e-health systems in Europe and to provide health ministers and the public sector with information on which key e-health implementation decisions may be made.
Activities at the event will look at three themes: implementation, user perspectives, and measuring added value.
Presentations and a state of the art report to be published at the event will focus on implementation strategies with a view to future programmes in Europe. e-Health perspectives will be presented by four different users: the patient, the healthcare professional, the hospital manager and the public health authority. Specific reports will provide guidance on measuring the added value of e-health according to three criteria: economic benefits, benefits in access to care, and benefits in terms of quality care.For further information, please
