eHealth governance will be discussed at the European eHealth Conference or World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition ( WoHIT 2010 ), from March 15 - 18, 2010 in Barcelona, Spain.

Implementing eHealth solutions on a large scale requires dedicated leadership and close cooperation between all stakeholders. At the European eHealth Conference or World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition (  WoHIT 2010 ), examples of successful eHealth governance were discussed – on a regional, national as well as European level.

The role of the regional government is both to organize collaboration among stakeholders and ensure the implementation of a solid, secure and interoperable infrastructure without making too many specifications for actual applications. With this governance strategy, Catalonia – like other Spanish regions – has been remarkably successful in implementing eHealth applications on a large scale in recent years. “We have focused on a regional shared medical record, a medical image depository, electronic prescribing , telemedicine and a personal health folder for patient access to data,” said Guanyabens, summarizing what is now already available in Catalonia.
