Paper Abstract:
|
Mobility of patients and health professionals as well as crossborder healthcare are strongly connected with the increasing use of Information and Communication Technologies in Healthcare Services. Currently, new methodologies and applications are contributing to improve the quality of patient care and to reduce clinical risks. In this scenario, Electronic Health Records represent an important tool empowering health consumers and reducing healthcare spending waste. Health standards and interoperability are as important as legal and regulatory privacy issues. Mandatory acts on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of health eData are still missing at all levels (national, European and international), therefore its urgent to introduce specific legal instruments to manage the current state of healthcare. Italy is adopting binding and nonbinding legal documents to tackle the problem. Are they enough? |
