The annual eHealth Week is taking place between 8 and 10 June in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Under the theme “You, at the heart of transition”, eHealth Week 2016 will focus on the people who are changing the healthcare system, and the first step forward is to give patients more power.
The event reflects on the fact that eHealth policies are changing. Until now, policies have mainly focused on institutions and IT systems: today, that focus is shifting and is now being placed on eHealth users. The people who are using eHealth are becoming increasingly involved in the discussion and being placed at the heart of eHealth policy-making.
eHealth Week 2016 is organised by the Dutch Ministry of Health as part of the Dutch Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the European Commission and HIMSS Europe. This year’s educational programme will focus on three main themes: Empowering People, Trust & Standards, and Social Innovation & Transition.
