Abstract:
Background: Telemedicine offers potential benefits for health care delivery. However, evidence of cross-border telemedicine data exchange within the European Union (EU) remains limited. The objective of this communication provides a brief outline of the regulatory framework, initiatives, and challenges associated with cross-border telemedicine data exchange in the EU, setting the stage for a comprehensive evidence assessment. Methods: We explore the current regulatory landscape (European Health Data Space), existing initiatives (the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format), and interoperability challenges (e.g., legal, technical, semantic) facing EU cross-border telemedicine data exchange. Results: There is a need for thorough evidence assessment of cross-border telemedicine and related data movements. Conclusion: Understanding the current landscape of cross-border telemedicine is crucial. This article highlights the need for evidence assessment through a formal review to inform future research and policy initiatives in this domain.
摘要:
背景:远程医疗为医疗保健提供了潜在的好处。然而,欧盟(EU)内部跨境远程医疗数据交换的证据仍然有限。本通讯的目的简要概述了监管框架,倡议,以及与欧盟跨境远程医疗数据交换相关的挑战,为全面的证据评估奠定基础。方法:我们探索当前的监管格局(欧洲健康数据空间),现有计划(欧洲电子健康记录交换格式),和互操作性挑战(例如,legal,技术,语义)面向欧盟跨境远程医疗数据交换。结果:需要对跨境远程医疗和相关数据流动进行全面的证据评估。结论:了解跨境远程医疗的现状至关重要。本文强调了通过正式审查进行证据评估的必要性,以为该领域的未来研究和政策举措提供信息。
