EHTEL/ELO Network
The Network of National Organisation in Europe engaged in eHealth strategy development and - predominantly - in implemention. The Network consists both of promotional associations and National eHealth competence centres.
Patient and Citizen Group
Empowering Patients & Citizens: While supporting professionals in the delivery of healthcare, eHealth information systems also have the potential to empower the patient. However, to the extent that contractual relations, which can be influenced by the patient, impact on or even replace state supervision and responsibility, new requirements for the protection of the individual’s rights emerge. It is against this background that EHTEL's Patient and Citizens Task Force was established. It is a unique group within the European eHealth community consisting of individuals who are patients in their own right or who represent patient groups.
