Information Society and Health: Linking European Policies
This brochure has been produced by Information Society Policy Link (ISPL), an initiative
of DG Information Society and Media that aims to link information society projects with European policy-makers across a wide range of policy domains.
More than 3000 projects from information society programmes are being analysed, identifying a wealth of concrete results that support EU policies across all of the principal policy areas. By exchanging information and experiences, the Information Society Policy Link initiative helps to leverage the benefits of these activities for European policies.
This study shows that across a wide range of eHealth applications clear evidence can be found of the benefits of information and communication technologies in routine healthcare settings.
This strategy brochure explores the potential of Information and Communication Technologies for Health and the need for a new landscape in European healthcare.
