ICT infrastructure availability
In order to enable digital health and care solutions to be used, the underlying ICT infrastructure needs to continuously evolve and support new use cases and new technological approaches, such as interoperable Electronic Health and Care Records, cloud computing, federated approaches to pooling and querying health and care data, remote monitoring, ePrescription, etc. At the same time, the infrastructure design and architecture should avoid the creation of siloed approaches by promoting open interoperable standards for data and information exchange. This DHE building block therefore highlights good practices and approaches to setting up and operating such ICT infrastructures for health and care.
