EHTEL Board of Directors: Testimonials 10th Anniversary 2009

EHTEL's Vision ..

  • eHealth is a cooperative process intensifying and changing the interactions of all stakeholders in health and social care for the purpose of improving Continuity of Care and Patient Safety
  • eHealth is a tool to ensure information, choice and empowerment, as requested by European consumers and patients.
  • eHealth must comprise multiple communication channels for ensuring both equal access to services and their ubiquity.

.. and Mission
