EHTEL has launched a new series of webinars in 2023. It focuses on what's trending today and what are the hot topics for EHTEL's own members.
In 2023 the first webinar of this type focused on "Scotland’s orchestration of innovation: Enabling infrastructure"
On 23 November 2023 we will explore Denmark's own strategy for innovation.
Stakeholders offer input to Digital Health Uptake for a Digital Mental Health Executive Digest.
Background
Denmark has since the early 1990s continuously digitalised the entire public sector, including the health sector. This has many benefits for citizens, patients, and healthcare professionals as the level of digitalisation and use of health IT is extensive and covers all sectors of the health system. Technology develops rapidly though. Now Denmark is on the threshold of fundamental changes that can have significance for the whole sector and market.
At the service level, the use of technology as a support tool and means of delivering care, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention, is advanced. One area in which the possibilities has been used and implemented with great success is mental health.
Denmark’s health IT market is mindful of its unique opportunities, local conditions, and potential future paradigm shifts.
