尽管存在许多不同的医疗保健系统，但欧洲单一的医疗保健市场仍在发展。随着卫生保健方面跨界活动的增加，其他成员国的患者往往比过去更频繁地接受治疗，特别是在一些国家有等待名单的情况下。此外，与以前相比，医生要求他们的同事提供更多和更多样化的远程信息处理信息，医疗保健专业人员、医院和实验室使用越来越多的信息和通信技术(ICT)应用程序来传递用于治疗和其他目的的健康数据。许多医疗保健参与者(如疾病基金、医院、实验室等)是欧洲卫生保健行为者，并认为有必要在成员国之间交流卫生数据，以用于治疗和其他目的。另一方面，消费者使用互联网搜索医疗信息或从位于其他国家的药店订购药品。这些发展中的许多都与电子健康有关。电子健康描述了信息和通信技术在影响卫生保健部门的整个职能范围内的应用。根据欧盟委员会的说法，电子保健包括以下四类相互关联的应用：(A)临床信息系统；(B)远程医疗和家庭护理、个性化保健系统和远程病人监测、远程会诊、远程护理、远程医疗和远程放射学服务；(C)区域/国家综合保健信息网、分布式电子健康记录系统和相关服务，如电子处方或电子转诊；以及(D)非临床系统的二次使用(如研究人员专用系统，或支持系统，如账单系统)。
Introduction The European single market in health care is developing despite the existence of many different health care systems. With cross-border activities in health care increasing, patients tend to be treated in other Member States more often than in the past, especially since there are waiting lists in some countries. Moreover, doctors ask for more and varied telematic information from their colleagues than previously, and health care professionals, hospitals and laboratories use more and more information and communication technology (ICT) applications to communicate health data for treatment and other purposes. Many health care players (like sickness funds, hospitals, laboratories, etc.) are European health care actors and feel the need to communicate health data between Member States for treatment and other purposes. Consumers, on the other hand, use the Internet to search for medical information or to order medicinal products from pharmacies that are located in other countries. Many of these developments are related to e-health. E-health describes the application of information and communication technologies across the whole range of functions that affect the health care sector. According to the European Commission, e-health comprises the following four interrelated categories of applications: (a) clinical information systems; (b) telemedicine and home care, personalized health systems and services for remote patient monitoring, teleconsultation, telecare, telemedicine and teleradiology; (c) integrated regional/ national health information networks, distributed electronic health record systems and associated services such as e-prescriptions or e-referrals; and (d) secondary usage of non-clinical systems (such as specialized systems for researchers, or support systems such as billing systems).
