4. Teleradiology in Europe
Risk of mess in Europe in the field of telemedicine:
DG “Information Society” (DG INFSO) of the European Commission did a communication on “Telemedicine to benefit to patient, Healthcare systems and Society” at the end of October 2008.
Analysis of the situation will be driven in 2009 and a specific regulation should be proposed with the goal to have all member countries having evaluate and modify their own national legislation.
The healthcare DG (DG SANCO) said that it is interested and wish to contribute. But, at this time, DG INFSO didn't invite any physician nor radiologist to join the team working on the subject.
ESR will contact DG INFSO and DG SANCO to manifest it willingness to participate.
Availability of standards and IHE profile(s) will probably help.
