Collaborating for Digital Health and Care in Europe
Community Update
Dear EHTEL friend,
It's time to get back to work.
This September, we welcome you with some great news: our newsletter is brand new!
It has a new format, new branding, easier to read layout, and more "EHTEL look-and-feel". It consists of four different sections, each one divided into topics which are relevant for our work.
• Top Story of the month: this month we are ready with the Symposium! • Highlights: the main news and articles published on our website. • News from our members: it gives space to the contributions by our member. • Events: what’s coming up.
We hope you will enjoy our new newsletter and the rich content we have prepared for you, starting from our 2020 milestone: your EHTEL Symposium.
This year, the traditional appointment with EHTEL will go live online. While it will be mainly virtual, it will be as rich in content, guests, and topics as in previous years. Enjoy your new newsletter and let us know what do you think of it.
The 2020 edition of the Thought Leader EHTEL Symposium will explore the speed-up of digital health services and their contributions to healthy and resilient communities. It will be a digital event and combine remote participation and Brussels-based moderation with panellists.
The second factsheet of the Imagining 2029 work programme offers a brief outline of what health data ecosystems are, how they can be built, and how they can underpin integrated care initiatives.
The third factsheet of the Imagining 2029 work programme is mainly based on the information collected during the EHTEL virtual meeting dedicated to the theme “Making real-world data fit for European Health Data Spaces”.
Germany’s Digital Healthcare Act (DVG) defined a new way of integrating digital healthcare solutions into the country’s statutory healthcare system, when it came into effect in December 2019.
How to achieve a common European Data Space? The EU Data Strategy, published on February 19th 2020, identifies four main pillars to address in order to reach this goal.
EHTEL believes that a number of key recommendations can be offered about the purposes of data re-use in health and care, and its broader implementation in health and care. Several key messages result.
EHTEL regularly updates its members and friends on the latest developments in how digital health helps in relation to challenges to the resilience of Europe’s health and care.
