The report is the outcome of research in the context of the Good eHealth project. It presents case studies from 30 European countries for which validated information was available to the project by the end of November 2008.This information reflects the situation of the cases at the date of delivery to the project by national correspondents during the time period 2006-2008.
An important lesson to be drawn from the eHealth solutions presented in this report is that eHealth has not only proven its usefulness but also its sustainability. Some of the solutions already benefit from close to ten years of experience. Several of them have initially been funded as pilots by various support programmes of the European Commission.

I recently heard about a program called iCons in Medicine (www.iconsinmed.org). This program is a free service that uses telemedicine to connect health care providers in remote or medically underserved areas with specialty physicians. The specialty physicians volunteer to provide teleconsultations on cases to the requesting providers. This program expands treatment options for patients who otherwise would not have access to specialty care. In addition to providing this service, it seems like a very good social networking site for those in the healthcare industry.
