Abstract(s)
The aim of this study is to describe and compare eHealth
Infrastructures and Security in selected European Union (EU) countries. Using
data available from the European Hospital Survey (2012/2013), the study
reported in this paper analyses the adoption of five eHealth Infrastructures and
Security indicators in Portuguese Hospitals, namely: Externally connected;
Broadband; Single and unified wireless; Clear and structured rules on access to
clinical data; and EAS (Enterprise Archiving Strategy) for disaster recovery in
less than 24 hours. The analysis of these eHealth indicators allows us to
understand the position of Portugal in relation to the European average. It has
been found that the Portuguese Hospitals are well positioned with regard to the
adoption of these indicators and in spite of this, remains a permanent concern to
raise the eHealth Infrastructures and Security levels through new projects in
progress.
