European Workshop on Practical Aspects of Health Informatics PAHI
The Fourth European Workshop on Practical Aspects of Health Informatics, PAHI 2017
eHealth communication and the citizen - social, organizational, and human aspects
Levanger in Trøndelag, Norway 15th and 16th of May 2017
PAHI 2017 aims to bring together clinicians, researchers and students from humanities, social sciences, healthcare and informatics as well as developers to exchange experiences and ideas about eHealth communication in modern healthcare.
This is important for many reasons:
- Exchange of experiences across institutional bounderies
- Exchange of knowledge across scientific disciplines
- Networking
- Exchanging ideas for research and / or development projects within the field of eHealth communication both on a national and international level
The objective of the workshop is to examine human, organisational and social prerequisites for effective and target-oriented eHealth communication between the health authorities, health services and the citizens.
Modern healthcare is characterized by extensive use of health technologies. eHealth services for citizens are becoming commonly available. Although studies demonstrate that citizens tend to use eHealth services and the acceptance of health technologies increases, there is only little research about the impact of eHealth on citizens’ health communication and consequently also on safety in health care.
In order to develop usable and tailored eHealth services for citizens much more insight into the specific requierements and competencies is needed. The eHealth literacy level needs to be evaluated and put into context. There is evidence that social, institutional and cultural aspects have an impact and we need to consider these factors also when discussing availability and use of health technologies. An important challenge is how we can utilize this knowledge in developing targeted as well as generalized eHealth solutions. There is also an educational aspect to eHealth services. Healthcare professionals are obliged to apply health technologies of various kinds in their daily practice, in diagnosis as well as in their communication with patients. To be able to implement the services in a smart and citizen-centered way health professionals should be trained on the basis of researched-based teaching applications.
