This file covers e-health implementation and further deployment. It looks into cross-border use of telehealth and telemedicine, monitoring developments to the Directive on patients' rights in cross-border healthcare, interoperability, cloud services, e-IDAS, cybersecurity, and other residual areas.

In order to create trust and acceptability among patients and healthcare providers of digital tools, safety, efficacy, and good cooperation between all eHealth users are essential. Healthcare digitalisation must not increase the digital divide and its use must not lead to discrimination or stigma.

IT usage must not compromise the principles of medical ethicts. Privacy and personal data need to be respected, as well as professional secrecy and medical confidentiality.
