Current challenges for health systems
• Increasing elderly population– Relative decrease in resources (fewer taxpayers),
chronic patients • Financial sustainability of care
– Technologies, informed/demanding patients; chronic diseases
• Healthcare expenditure growing faster than the economy
• Fewer health care professionals• Health care as a Human Right

WHAT can we do?
Sustainable healthcare through the use of integrated ICT tools

HOW can we achieve this?
• EMPOWER
• INTEGRATE (ensure continuity of care)
• ENGAGE
![Page 5: Current challenges for health systems Increasing elderly population –Relative decrease in resources (fewer taxpayers), chronic patients Financial sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649ec05503460f94bcae09/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EMPOWERING
• secure online access for patients to their medical health data
• widespread deployment of telemedicine services
![Page 6: Current challenges for health systems Increasing elderly population –Relative decrease in resources (fewer taxpayers), chronic patients Financial sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649ec05503460f94bcae09/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CONTINUITY OF CARE + INTEROPERABILITY
Define minimum common set of patient data for interoperability of patient records across the EU
• Art 14 Directive on cross-border care
• Piloting through epSOS project
![Page 7: Current challenges for health systems Increasing elderly population –Relative decrease in resources (fewer taxpayers), chronic patients Financial sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649ec05503460f94bcae09/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
epSOS Pilot Project• Goal for the epSOS eHealth Project:
– “enable secure access a basic patient summary and ePrescription services across borders in Europe”
• 23 countries involved: .at, .be, .ch, .cz, .de, .dk, .ee, .gr, .es, .fi, .fr, .hu, .it, .mt, .nl, .no, .pl, .pt, .se, .sk, .sl, .tr and .uk
• Real life testing will start in October 2011 (no piloting sites in UK)

ENGAGE
• European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing
• eHealth Network – Cross-border care Directive Art 14
• eHealth Task Force
• EU Research and Innovation

AIMTo add 2 years to theaverage healthylifespan in the EU by2020
FOCUS• Prevention and health
promotion • Integrated health and
social care• Independent, active
living for elderly people

Directive on cross-border care (2011/24/EU)
• Adopted on 9 March 2011• Deadline for implementation in Member
States 25 October 2013 • clarifies the rules on access to healthcare
in another EU country, including reimbursement
• eHealth, including telemedicine, are also covered by the rules on reimbursement

eHealth Network – Cross-border care Directive Art 14
• A mechanism to Implement Art 14– draw up the guidelines on patient summaries, use of data for
research and public health– support Member States in developing common identification and
authentication measures to facilitate transferability of data in cross-border healthcare.
• Participants: Member States Representatives• Timeline: 2012 (tbc)

eHealth Task Force
• A High level group of advisors reporting directly to Vice President Kroes and Commissioner Dalli
• Objective: Look at the future advice to unlock innovation in Health
• Participants: individual with track records of innovative approach to their sector (not all necessarily from Health)
• Timeline: Final Report 2 Q 2012

Supporting change
Research: Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7), H2020
Innovation Competitiveness Innovation Programme (CIP ICT PSP) European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Active and
Healthy Ageing (2011)
Both supported by Policy actions
![Page 14: Current challenges for health systems Increasing elderly population –Relative decrease in resources (fewer taxpayers), chronic patients Financial sustainability](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/56649ec05503460f94bcae09/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Healthcare systems are under pressure EC is committed to support MS and healthcare providers in meeting these challenges– eHealth can help– Same challenges can be best answered by
cooperation and sharing experiences – “epSOS docet”
– Partnership between industry and local, regional, national health authorities is key to achieve success
