| The Ministerial Conference “eHEALTH FOR INDIVIDUALS, SOCIETY, AND ECONOMY” will take place in Prague on 18 – 20 February 2009. The aim of the Conference is to focus mainly on the impacts of the eHealth solutions and processes rather than on its technological background, although the advanced and accessible information and communication technology is an essential condition of all eHealth concepts. For individuals, eHealth brings new possibilities in terms of increasing quality and effectiveness of services. eHealth provides completely new methods in treatment of chronic diseases. Within the European context, it can facilitate the implementation of cross-border healthcare and contribute to the continuity of care. For society, eHealth represents a challenge for interoperability, e-literacy, and accessibility of new technologies. It presents great opportunities for research and development. For the economy, eHealth offers solutions that can bring enormous savings. If properly deployed, eHealth can contribute to the transformation of the health sector, substantially change the business models of healthcare facilities, and it can also have an impact on the behaviour of health insurance institutions. | |
