Electronic Health Record - Quality Labelling, Certification and Beyond.

eHealth describes the integrated application of information and communications technologies in the health care sector. The development and implementation of eHealth marks a point of intersection of public health policies, optimising health services, and applying information science to a societal area that is central to all. This volume of the GVG series presents contributions to the international eHealth Conference 2007, which was organised within the framework of the German EU presidency. It is based on the “Experts’ Special Interest Sessions” of the Conference. Societal issues such as the use of eHealth for the care for elderly people or the involvement of patients are covered as well as European projects and latest technological advances. Concepts of the Electronic Health Record, GRID technology and solutions for the ubiquitous problem of interoperability are core themes
