1.2 Analysing the Regional Needs

A study was carried out about eHealth acceptance and awareness in the Baltic Sea partner regions. The partners compiled a questionnaire and asked about 500 persons in each country (Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden). The survey is directed to three different target groups which are medical doctors and nurses, decision makers and the public and patients. The good response rate in all concerned countries demonstrate in a first step the general interest regarding the subject eHealth. On this basis the “eHealth for Regions” partners can consider the attitude towards and knowledge about eHealth of relevant health care actors and patients during the concrete co-operation of the partners.

A summary of the survey will be finalised until the end of the project.
Here you find some preliminary results (presentation and summary of Poland, Sweden and Finland).
