3C: Mission and Programme
Continuity of healthcare through all life spheres of patients is a key element of recent European agendas. The next challenge for healthcare is to enable improved information management and better communication among health professionals, e.g. physicians, pharmacists, nurses etc. in hospitals, private practices, pharmacies and also in community and homecare environments. The conference explores the concrete issues on "3C" (Continuity, Collaboration, Communication) and their influence on the eHealth infostructure (e.g. dissemination and customisation of clinical pathways, clinical datasets, reference terminologies vs. value sets, patient summaries).
