National roadmaps
The eHealth action plan calls on each Member State to develop tailored national and regional eHealth strategies to respond to their specific needs.
By accepting the eHealth action plan, Member States recognised the importance of a focused yet coordinated policy approach. Against this backdrop, they all committed themselves to developing their own regional and national strategies.
Each Member State has developed its own national or regional road maps for eHealth. These strategies address the challenges of providing citizen-centred healthcare services that will meet the rising expectations of Europeans, while dealing with the issues raised by growing mobility, greying populations and budgetary constraints.
National and regional strategies each focus on deploying eHealth systems, bolstering interoperability, utilising electronic health records, reimbursing eHealth services, and other related issues.
The EU has set up a database of European eHealth priorities and strategies to enhance knowledge and facilitate co-operation between states and regions. It includes documents about national eHealth priorities, strategies, road maps and research programmes.
