eHealth applications in Europe" There was further confirmation that the vision of future healthcare delivery behind the European Commission support to eHealth is being realised.The eHealth area is now mature enough for implementation, and is confirmed as the third pillar of the health industry behind the pharmaceutical industry and the medical equipments industry; from 0.7% of the European healthcare expenditure in 1996, eHealth today represents 2.5% and is expected to reach 5% of this amount within the next five years. As a conclusion, it can be said that eHealth is growing in policy, scientific and technological importance and that this is now recognised not only throughout Europe but also increasingly worldwide."
Excellent document - full of ideas which healthcare entrepreneurs can implement ! Why re-invent the wheel ?
