pabloHealth is a strategic sector for advancing in Europe in the society of knowledge; from the different member states of the E.U. we must increase our efforts to make the new technologies an essential tool for improving the quality of healthcare. From the Spanish Ministry of Health, we have made a firm stake on on-line health, moving forward in the development of digital clinical backgrounds in each of the autonomous communities.

cara2Introducing ICT in the Catalan Health Care System is one of the most relevant challenges that the Catalan Ministry of Health has faced. Our ICT governing model is built on a middle-out approach, running ICT introduction and deployment on a participative base. Information is a fundamental pillar of our system, so we think that only a collaborative governing strategy will allow us to make decisions based on reliable data, optimized information and expert knowledge.
 
Our goals go beyond than applying ICT within the system. The strategic objective we pursue is the transformation of the health care system using enabling technologies. The convergence of ICT, medical devices and clinical images makes essential their integration.   We strongly believe that bringing into play global integrated systems will improve the quality and efficiency of our healthcare organizations. Welcome to the Barcelona eHealth Week 2010!
