Why join us

EHTEL is the one multi-stakeholder organisation within Europe that brings together organisations and individuals engaged in all aspects of eHealth.

There has never been a more crucial time for health and social care stakeholders to engage with each other to shape and influence emerging models of healthcare delivery through data and digital technologies.

Since 1999, its unique structure enables the exchange of ideas and information leading to innovation and improvement in the delivery of eHealth solutions and the transformation of health and social care. It does not lobby on behalf of particular groups but rather facilitates interaction between all of them.

The EHTEL ecosystem

The EHTEL ecosystem is a wider community of organisations which includes organisations that represent a variety of key stakeholders.

We team up with non-governmental organisations, particularly for purposes of policy-making and policy development. We liaise with many types of organisations either as a group or bi-laterally. Here are a few examples of these organisational types:

stakeholders
 
At EHTEL, we take an holistic view of eHealth. The multitude of backgrounds and interests of these stakeholders enable EHTEL, as a neutral forum, to draw a more complete picture of the benefits and challenges of the deployment of ICT in the fields of health and social care, thereby also identifying topics requiring particular attention and further developments at European level.
 
The range of stakeholders that are EHTEL members permits us to represent both the supply side and the demand side. While EHTEL members' views do not always represent a consensus, they often show how wide-ranging people's opinions can be even inside a single ecosystem.
 
As the eHealth focal point in Europe, EHTEL supports all organisations and individuals interested in accessing eHealth information in Europe. It is registered in the EC Transparency Register.
