This document describes and analyzes implementation of eHealth in several European countries, as well as strengths and weaknesses, using this experience in order to support the management and execution of this kind of projects in other scenarios. Five EU member States evidencing different degrees of advancement in their national eHealth projects have been selected for this purpose: Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the United Kingdom and Sweden. In addition to these five cases, a brief study has been made of several international collaboration projects for the implementation of cross-border spaces for eHealth that most of these countries are currently participating in.

The electronic collection, processing and management of information is becoming increasingly important in healthcare. Because of the nature of the healthcare provision and delivery process, where the health, safety and quality of human lives are impacted on a daily basis, it is critical that those who work in the field are competent and able to perform all clinical, administrative, research and technology-impacted facets of their roles. The United States and the European Union have been working to encourage broader and more effective use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within healthcare. The development, use and governance of ICT within healthcare, often called health informatics, requires a number of competences which need to be identified and integrated into relevant skills assessment, education and training. Ultimately, this will help produce a more proficient and a more confident mobile health informatics-empowered workforce. A structured set of health informa...

The 4th International Conference on Information Society and Technology (ICIST 2014) was organized in Kopaonik winter resort, Serbia, 9-11.3.2014. The conference provided a venue for ICT researchers and practitioners from all over the world to present their research results and development activities, to exchange experiences and new ideas, and to establish the relationships for a future collaboration. The International Programme Committee (IPS) gathered 48 ICT experts from industry and academy from 18 countries, giving the truly international dimension to a review process. While the numerous and diverse topics were considered relevant for the conference, the prospective authors were invited to discuss about the specific challenges of enterprise and systems interoperability. The topic was selected by the conference chairs as a reflection of the first published ICT work programmes of the recently launched European framework for funding research and innovation, Horizon 2020 (H2020). Today, ICT research community is facing the numerous challenges related to a need to strive towards a hyperconnected world with hundreds of billions of devices fuelled by ambient and pervasive services (H2020 ICT Challenge 3 – Future Internet). Driven by the paradigms, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), this world will change the way we perceive the computing capability. It will feature strong collaboration and coordination, smart and autonomous behavior and collective intelligence. It will use extensive data, open and linked, from distributed sources. It will be capable to acquire and manage knowledge based on this data. It will combine different services to swiftly implement and deploy business processes. While the diversity of devices is also rapidly growing, it becomes more and more difficult to make them collaborate, due to a complexity caused by the fragmented architectures and incoherent unifying concepts. One approach to address this challenge is to foster applicationindependent development of a new generation of connected components and systems (ICT Challenge 1 – A new generation of components and systems), complemented by externally located behavioral and context models. These challenges alone cannot be addressed without the consideration of the computing issues (ICT Challenge 2 - Advanced Computing) and information management of big data in distributed sources (ICT Challenge 4 – Content technologies and information management). Defined by ISO/IEC 2382 as “capability to communicate, execute programs, or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units”, the enterprise interoperability is a common denominator of all challenges of so-called hyperconnected world. The collaboration of the devices cannot be achieved without enabling them with a seamless capability to exchange, use and re-use information and services, even without taking into account the nature and/or purpose of this information and services. Thus, the devices need to have capability, not only to exchange this information, but also to perceive and understand it.

A Topical Collection on ICT for Health Science Research – EFMI Special Topic Conference
Journal of Medical Systems
Medical Informatics (or health informatics) is considered the science of applying the methods of computer science to health-care. In particular, medical informatics provides methodologies for systematic organization, representation, and analytics of data that is collected in health and well-being. About 50 years ago, the goal has been worded by Peter L. Reichertz: "the right information at the right place at the right time". In this regard, the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI), which is composed of national member societies, such as the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), organizes annually a special topic conference (STC) that specialize in current trends in medical informatics. The 2019 edition of EFMI STC was focused on information and communication technology (ICT) for Health Science Research. A major challenge in this field is the syntactical and semantical integration of ICT systems, since much of the data for health science research is coming from healthcare. Nevertheless, research often requires data of higher resolution, precision, and quality than is typically available in healthcare ICT systems. Thus, healthcare data are extracted, transformed, and loaded into research data warehouses, which leads to duplication of data and might challenge data integrity from specific individuals across research and healthcare systems, possibly hindering personalized medicine and translational research. ICT systems for health science research are used in application domains such as clinical trials, development of drugs and medical devices, as well as translational medicine, aiming at better prevention, diagnostics, and interventions in health and care. In addition, ethical, legal, and social aspects of health data are considered. EFMI STC 2019 was held at the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics of TU Braunschweig and Hannover Medical School in Hanover, Germany. It was jointly organized with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the appointment of Peter L. Reichertz to the Hannover Medical School, which founded medical informatics as a research field in Germany in 1969. From the total of 87 paper submissions, the scientific program committee (SPC)-which was strictly different from the local organizing committee (LOC)-selected 48 oral and 22 poster presentations, which have been published in the conference proceedings [1]. However, the authors could decide to publish only an abstract within the proceedings and submit the extended paper to this special topic at JOMS. Seven of these submissions finally have passed the strict peer-review process, which, due to the Conora pandemic, lasts almost two years. These papers focus on research and development of information systems supporting biomedical, translational, and clinical research, as well as interoperability across such systems for the purpose of data integration, improving findability, and supporting analytics of cross-system data. They all have been submitted before the pandemic, but have been published during the pandemic. Therefore, we partly reflect them in the light of COVID-19, too.
