When it all comes together
The strategic goal of the eHN with regard to empowering people is to work towards the implementation of patient-centred eHealth solutions in all Member States and to provide people with the adequate digital tools and skills for people empowerment. Therefore, a second document has been written building onwards to the results of the Policy Framework. The policy proposal presents a list of 9 priority areas and corresponding recommendations for adoption by the eHealth Network in order to improve the empowerment of their citizens. The priority areas can be viewed below:
The indicated priorities for this policy proposal are plotted on one or more elements of the Ability, Motivation, Opportunity (AMO) framework. Each priority area will present a limited number of recommendations taking into account ongoing activities within the European Union in order to target critical unmet needs. The recommendations are presented to a broad list of stakeholders, each of whom should critically assess which policy actions are most needed in their context. The adoption of this policy proposal at the level of the eHN will not in inself entail adopting the recommendations it contains, but it would signal that the recommendations within this document are important and should be considered for policy action where relevant, in line with national strategies and priorities.
