The European Commission has issued a call for proposals for a study to benchmark the deployment of e-health services across Europe. The overall aim of the study is to progress towards the development of a standardised survey on the adoption of ICT and e-health solutions in hospitals.
The chosen contractor will liaise with relevant associations and international organisations and analyse similar studies carried out outside Europe, in order to overcome as many semantic and terminological differences as possible.
The study also aims to identify the main challenges and gaps in ehealth services and some best practices in order to support further policy development in the e-health field in the framework of the initiative that will follow the i2010 strategy.
The study will cover EU27, Norway, Iceland and Croatia.
