Abstract
As the information society is becoming more concrete in
EU member states, the challenge is to synchronise the
rapid development of information technology with the
changing market of health care and medicine itself. The
rapid changes that have taken place in the field of
informatics, have also an important knock-on effect in
the health sector. However, pure technology is not
sufficient, the acceptability of healthcare policy makers
and end-users is of utmost importance. As citizen's
aspect is becoming more and more crucial, the whole area
of health care service providers is migrating to a new
position, where qualified, managed and seamless care is
the ultimate goal of health care strategy taking into
account the general trends like ageing and integration
needs of systems.
