WelcomeEHTEL, eHealth Focal Point for Europe eHealth, High Priority on the Agenda of European Decisions Makers While eHealth solutions are being implemented everywhere in Europe, eHealth has moved up on the political agenda. EHTEL is dedicated to help all stakeholders establishing and using eHealth solutions, e.g. by >> Sharing experience with and learning from others >> Informing of what is going on in Europe and beyond, >> Contributing to discussions at EU level on e.g. interoperability, eHealth and telemedicine issues. We at EHTEL share the belief that >> eHealth is a tool to ensure the required level of information, choice and empowerment, as requested by European consumers and patients. >> eHealth must comprise multiple communication channels for ensuring both equal access and ubiquity. >> eHealth is a cooperative process intensifying and changing the interactions of all stakeholders in health and social care. >> Decision Makers in Healthcare of Europe should fully integrate eHealth into health and social care.
