Economic Impact of Interoperable EHRs and ePrescription in Europe
Deadline: 13 August 2007
The objectives of this study are to contribute to those activities that deal with the collection, analysis and eventual dissemination of best practices in the domain of eHealth. This study will more specifically focus on economic aspects of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and ePrescription solutions.
A key element of the Action plan is the successful implementation of interoperable Electronic Health Records (EHR) and electronic Prescription (ePrescription) systems. In several EU Members States the implementation of such systems is undergoing. However, these implementations are representing islands at EU level and they are not allowing the exchange of medical information concerning a citizen which is travelling across Europe for leisure, work or study, when the need for an unexpected medical encounter arises.
The study will also underpin the activities initiated by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme in the area of eHealth i.e. the implementation of Large Scale Pilot 'EU wide implementation of eHealth services to support continuity of care: patient's summaries and ePrescription'.
